I'm sorry you're getting stuck in this position. It seems that for all we have insurance to help us, sometimes all it does is leave us wondering why we have it.

I do a few things for pain relief that aren't drugs. I use microwavable heating pads, I can't stand the electric ones because they're uncomfortable to use. I also use essential oils. For me ylang-ylang and frankincense are helpful, I'm not sure what others will like and find helps. The third thing I use (this is not G rated, sorry) is orgasm. It sometimes takes an iron will to block the pain out of my mind enough, but the pain relief is great. And free!

I hope they see you soon so you can get relief.

Hahaha Adalaide that's genius and you're frickin' dead on

There is a massive parasympathetic rebound after orgasm that provides long term, natural pain relief.

Pretty much all parasympathetic activities are great for managing and reducing RSD symptoms!! And Addy's recommendation is the most fun
