Rsd can be hard for a regular Dr. to diagnose. I lived with it for 8 years and was put on 400 MG of oxycontin a day morphine patches. I was zombie and lost my wife, kids and business. I was never diagnosed by Loyola Hospital in Maywood IL. They had all the resources to cure me but Rsd or the new name which slips my mind at the momement, is all what the MD’s call experimental treatment. Even though it was named during the Civil War! Now sympathetic nerve blocks are proven to help but still controversal. People if you have real pain that keeps you from living a normal life from a traumatic injury. Then you may very well have Rsd It crippled me for 8 years and became addicted to oxycontin so bad that I could not function at all without it. If any of you out there read this and have been mis-diagnosed by Loyola please contact me. This is not about money it is about destroying my life and medicine practice that needs to be changed. My family and I were victims of poor medical practice at that very large hospital. The problem was in my left ankle and left me bed ridden for 30% of the last 8 years of my life. Dr. XIA or Shaw took one look at my ankle, the loss of hair, atrophy and skin color and scheuduled me for my first sympathetic nerve block 4 days later. The very next day I ran 2 miles and nothing hurt. Any of you out there that need help with RSD please for your own well being contact me. I know more than many doctore about this illness. Since the beggining of 2008, I have had 17 sympathetic nerve blocks and then my sympathetic nerve was burned 3 times with a lasor. Burning the nerve is very controversal even among the Dr.s who do it. But I swear to you if you find the right doctor your pain will go away.
