My daughter has RSD in right foot. It has been over a year that it first started. After going to several doctors and all giving her a diagnosis of tendonitis,and treated for that, cast,cold and hot packs the condition got worse. Then she went to pain specilist and he told her she had RSD. Since then she has had several bier blocks in foot with no ease of pain and several sympathetic blocks in spine again with no results to ease the pain. If fact the pain is now moving up her leg. This is such a terrible thing to see her in this much pain and all the pain medications do not help. The doctor at the Pain Clinic says it is getting better because her foot is not as cold and color is getting better. But try telling my daughter,the one with the pain, that. We are at a loss for a treatment that will give her some results.Now he says we might try the sympathetictomy,where they cut the sympathetic nerve in 2 or 3 places. I have read horror stories on the pumps.Any idea please let us know. Thanks. another mother in pain
