Just a thought, might you consider temporarily taking an anti-anxiety med like lorazepam or zanex? at least long enough to get you thru till you feel comfortable the rsd doesn't come back with new injury? Hope the best for you. loretta

I can't remember where I saw this posted in the last couple days, but it is a great resource.

It notes that we should use Calcitonin Nasal Spray to prevent spread before invasive procedures.

I have not had time to really read it and understand all of it, but it also talks about vit. c and things to do to prevent spread with new injuries.

I saved a copy to my computer so I could put it on my iPad that I take to doctors offices with all my other info.

Excellent link daylillyfan! I hadn't seen that one before. Lots of great information in that article; very comprehensive.

Robert Schwartzman is a co-author and arguably is one of the most knowledgeable professionals regarding CRPS.

Just to mention that after that shortly after that paper was written, calcitonin nasal sprays were completely withdrawn across the whole of Europe because all of the clinical trials demonstrated that they are linked to raised risks of cancer. Canada are reviewing their position but the FDA don't seem to have decided to withdraw.

It's a risk that's important to weigh up particularly in circumstances where you are not someone who already has a diagnosis of osteoporosis where, arguably, the risk might be more worth taking. If you already had risk factors for cancer that would be something else to weigh up.
