I'm a newly diagnosed RSD patient at 2.5 months, not responded to my first nerve block, have another one next week, docs also want to perform nerve conductivity test on monday. I am relatively pain free right now with physical therapy, high dose gabapentin and cymbalta, and lots of exercise (I have RSD in my left foot with pain going up my left leg).
The nerve conductivity test is controversial, it provides useful information about nerve damage but I've read that it can also worsen the condition. Is there any prophylatic pre-treatment that can be performed to dimish RSD before this procedure, or, any other surgical procedure that is performed. Please let me know. thanks, logicwoman |
