My rsd started from a blood test 6 years ago. We tried to sue but came up against the same things I'm sure you're coming up against- no dr's want to get involved as they have to deal with the blood collection company and they're all in each others pockets. We settled out of court but the lawyers took most of the money. It was a total waste of time and effort. Although I did recently read of a person in the US who had the same thing happen and they sued and got millions, so maybe google that and see if there are any parts that could help you in your case.

I was very scared of needles afterwards, and had to have psychological help to be able to have more blood tests. I've had to have a lot of iv's too, as I had three ketamine infusions, (they move the needle every 2-3 days of the 7 day procedure, plus give you two bloodtests that week) plus two childbirths since my rsd started, so I haven't been able to avoid them. But now I get local before I have an iv go in (as they often have to dig around a bit as those veins are shot), and they only use my left arm, there's no way I even let them put the blood pressure cuff on my rsd arm.

I wish you luck in finding a pain specialist who will treat you, and that you get some pain relief. Good luck in your lawsuit.
