Hi Nikki,
My son is being treated by Dr. David Sherry at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia - we are still waiting to get into his physical therapy program - it's hard to get in to see him, but it's worth a try. If you find anyone else in the area, please let me know - just in case things don't work out with Dr. Sherry. Thanks, terry |

Hi All,
I have read here that some believe that Dr. Schwartzman is retired. I am a patient of his and just saw him in Jan 08 and spoke to him about 3 weeks ago and have an appt in July 08. Yes, he is very hard to see he has over 3000 patients so you can imagine. It is worth the wait. I was sent there by my main Pain Doctor and they have worked together to get me better. He is very compassionate I had some problems with the ketamine and his sincerity was genuine. We all have to remember RSD does not have a cure or at least I have never heard of one, remission yes so see the best if you can.... Ann |

I think what you said about the old boy network is generally so true , but I have not found this to be true with RSd. Since there is no known rsd cure, thees doctors, most of them in non profit settings are all working on their own methods and ofter wont even share information- they have such pressure on them to publish. its part of their profession. I cant wait for the day when they all are sharing and the sooner the better for all of us.
I look for the most respected and frankly the doctor I feel I will have the best communucation with. To me it is a bonus if it is non profit. Most of these doctors have devoted there lives to something that have few successes and very small rewards along the way. There is a great deal of frustration for those of them that truely care- that they can not help those of us that are suffering. So I look at their education, where they work , If I like them and If they are trying something that I havent tried already. Hope you are still doing well. CZ |

My father is suffering badly from RSD after a recent shoulder surgery. Could you please give me the name of that doc? I see that you live relatively close to me, but I would travel to the end of the earth and back to get this cruel, nasty disease under control for my father!

Also, does anyone have any experience with any MD's in NYC? My sister has RSD for 14 years and until 1 month ago was being managed pretty well w/ dilaudid in her implanted pain pump and working out every day. She has started having severe pain in her foot and it is traveling up to her pelvis and rectum. |

I have experience with a doctor in NYC his name is DR Richman and he is at the Hospital for Special Surgery. He is in thier pain department. I just got done with a procedure with him in which he also did the 5 day in-patient ketamine and he was wonderful. Niki |

Hi KStrong and WELCOME to NT!!!
Amber hasn't logged in since May. You may want to repost your question as it's own thread so that more people will look and may be able to help you. I wish you the best... Abbie
