I talked to the pain doctor that I am seeing now (not the psycho that I fired) who I love and she was open to my talking about options. She thought that trying this would be the least invasive way to try and get back. I'm not sure how long I am allowed on modified duty, but they do have it for my for some period. Until then, I have bee just trying to stay moving to some extent to the best of my ability around the house to try and regain my strength. She would consider other treatment options in light of this failing. It's good to hear that you are having such success with the Lidocaine pump.
Do you (or anyone) know of a place in the resources which list a) precautions that I need to take should I ever need surgery again and b) information that I can give my dentist about how my RSD impacts my dental care. She thought I had an abcess (I told her I didn't-no fever, no yucky taste, no drainage, no certain tooth that was sore and they are all three crowns), but put me on antibiotics anyway. I developed an intestinal disturbance called CDiff and now need two weeks of treatment for that. Not fun!
I really am betting on the TENS unit being enough to help me through working pain wise. I could of course take anything OTC in addition, but I just have to get back.
Thanks! You're such a support.

Hi Lori Lee,

This is wonderful news. I am so very happy for you. Much Love, Roz

I am starting to use the Jai Energy Enhancer.

Here is a link about it.

Here is a link to a number of treatment articles on the RSDSA site. Scroll down and you will find a number of articles on dentistry and surgery.

I'd be happy to discuss the continuous "peridural" anesthesia treatment that I had in Germany this past summer following my surgery on my rsd foot.

Good luck with the TENS, let us know how it works for you.

Have a wonderful day.

I have also been using the Jai, for about 7 years. It's a spectacular technology that helps with pain, fatigue, depression, stress and sleep. It's worth renting one to try it out.
