Hi Everyone!

Fell and lightly broke my ankle with a severe sprain
and before I knew ii I had RSD.. I think while I was
still in the cast.. I was having rolling cramps while I
was in the cast, numb, burining feet etc..They
took the cast off and said everything was normal
except "It's JUST a sprain!" By my next appointment
my pain continued to get worse.. Flames, Spasms
and lots of swelling..The ortho took one look and
said "I can't help you!" He then referred me to
a Pain Management Doctor..He knew what I had
and put me on Neurontin and Baclofen,thank
heavens..

Anyway I had my first Lumbar Sympathetic
block on 1-9-09 and it was a bad experience..
No caring on their part and lots of fear on
my part since I'd never experienced anything
similar in my life.. It didn't work, if fact my
pain was maginified the next day.. I plan
to tell them at my next appointment, NEVER
AGAIN.. I plan to go the medication route
at least, for now, until something more
effective comes along..

My question is.. What has helped you the most?
What has been the least helpful treatment?

Thank you for your help..
