"As your RSD progresses, the SMP is gradually replaced by IMP or independently Mediated/Maintained Pain, that is brain-centered/generated. "
IMP=SIP

"sympathetic blocks no longer works as the pain becomes SIP"

I`m sorry to tell you this, but I think it is important to stay on top of it, and together with your doc decide the next step. Stop blocks when they don't work for you

there are still medicin to try

Hi there,

This is still an area that creates much discussion amongst the Pain fraternity and the SMP/SIP terminology may soon be eradicated as the fact is that there are many of those who have been diagnosed as " SIP" whom still get pain relief from blocks.
Fortunately I am one of those people, so would argue the point with any doctor who uses it as an excuse to cease blocks.

Good luck to all
Tayla
