Getting Lumbar Sympathetic Nerve Blocks keeps me working. BUT, getting them with Botox is CRUCIAL for me. Without that, the pain relief just doesn't last very long. With it, I am able to get by getting 4 annually.

Stanford can do Botox with LSBs. Call around and ask.... it is still a newer modality to add to the treatment.

FYI: I have had RSD for 4 years in my right foot. Spread to my left foot started a couple of years ago. I am sensitive on my calves but it hasn't spread beyond that.

I live in the UK so treatments aren't as accessible and i haven't heard of having it with botox. I have had the steroid injections, they made it worse so i am reluctant to try anything else in that area. Otherwise i've had physio, hydrotherapy, tens, lidocaine patches, deep tissue massage, pain relief including amitriptyline and pregabalin etc. I'm on session 19 of the HBOT so still yet to see if that helps
