In this video it has some valuable information that I didn't know about. It's 1.3 hours long, but it's very informative.
One known fact about rsd/crps that I didn't know is that if you're taking opiods, it actually increases the glial cells produced, and glial cells are linked to chronic pain, and they will eventually make your rsd worse.
Definately getting off of my tramadol. (already decided before this video I was because it wasn't helping but this just confirms it)
Please watch this video, it could help you deal with your rsd or even cure it.

Unfortunately a lot of things make RSD worse but we can't get away from them. I would be in the hospital, on a morphine drip, without pain medication so I'd rather have it take some pain away and be at home on my bed.

Thanks for the link...i'll watch it little by little since it's a long one.

Thanks for posting this video! I haven't watched it in its entirety yet, but I will. Interesting at the end he says sympathetic blocks are not a good idea. My doctors really encouraged me to do it and I have had 3. I did get some warming of my ice cold foot and deceased my pain by about half for a week. But the relief is not long lasting.
