I posted about Dr. Rhodes as a former patient trying to help other RSDers......it was not a spam post to make him look good or anything like that haha!!!.....honestly his treatments did not help me much, but I have met several people who had incredible life-changing results. He is extremely knowledgable about RSD. To me it didnt matter what his certifications are in.....it only matters how much he knows about it & how many RSD patients he has seen. I learned alot from him. Although it was very expensive, It was worth a try & I learned about the disease & how it works & ties into other symptoms......nothing else was working. That is just my truthful opinion as a former patient.

Hi,
I saw your post on neurotallk and am trying to find a good doctor to help my friend's daughter. Her left leg calf muscle has been atrophying for 4 months. It is now 1 inch smaller than the right leg. Her right leg is in a lot of pain. There is a noticable temperature difference between her right and left leg. She still hasn't gotten a diagnosis after an EEG of muscle and nerves, several MRIs, and many blood tests. Her pediatrician is saying that it might be RSD...any suggestions? She is in a stroller at 7 years while at the zoo because her leg pain is so severe.
Thank you for your time,
Bridget

I am wondering if you can get me a number for Dr. Rand, I tried iformation and none was listed, not even in the surrounding areas??? I was diagnosed with RSD in January and can't seem to find a doctor with any knowledge of this in the Houston area...ty.

With a child, they have the best chance for remission, but the best rests seem to come from inpatient RSD programs at one of the Children's hospitals, and I don't believe I've ever heard of one in TX. Either search the forum or start a new thread with a title that alerts you're looking for a child. Good luck.

Yes, I have had CRPS/RSD for ten years now. My pain management doctor, Dr. Eduardo Garcia, specializes in CRPS/RSD. He`s been my doctor going on 9+ years now. I am one of his more extreme cases, which I believe he has at least two or three others who are extreme cases as well. He also works closely with a Physiatrist/BioChemist, Dr. Lewis Clarke. They are both extraordinary, & go above & beyond the call of duty for their patients. They are located on Hwy 3 in the Kelsey Seybold Building on the lower floor. If you haven't found a Dr. you like, then you may want to give them a call. You can let them know Gina Andrews gave you their names. Dr. Garcia's office # is (281) 338-4443 then choose option #4.

Sincerely,
Gina

Dr Jeffrey Annabi in El Paso. He's who I go to and I really like him. He's open helpful and doesn't push anything on you. You do have to give a urine sample to prove you're not on anything not prescribed or illegal drugs though. He's the first Dr that I've been to that really wants to help.
