Can anyone recommend a doctor in NYC who is really good with RSD?

Yes! Dr. Richman, he is at the Hospital for Special Surgery- He did my ketamine infusion (which didnt work for me) but he is very smart and nice

Let me know how you make out!

Thanks so much for the referral. I am in Manhattan. I am seeing a doctor right now who won't say I have RSD - he thinks it's a wastebasket diagnosis. He just says I have "neuropathy". Anyway, he has my on Elavil and Celebrex and Robaxin and thinks I should get all better. I definitely have seen tons of improvement, but am still unsure that I will get all better. If I don't, I will definitely go see your doctor.

How are you getting along? Are you on any treatment right now. The first doctor who told my I have RSD wanted to do an epidural injection on me, but I refused since I think that's how I got in this mess in the first place - I had 2 injections in May.

Sandy, even though your Dr. said you have neuropathy, why didn't he put you on Neurontin or lyrica? this is for nerve pain. My husband has neuropathy and he is on the same thing I am on, except his dose is lower. he is on 100 mg. I say, fire that doc. and get you another PMD ~Love, Desi
