Check out YouTube video..Dr Pradeep Chopra on rsd.org. he offers advice for all stages of crps/rsd. I found Lyrica very helpful in the beginning but it has progressed on me quickly, I am going for first Ketamine Infusion this month.

Those are all good things, When my RSD had spread throughout My entire body that's when Spinal Cord Stimulators... We're the next step for me. Please, everyone... read my profile, etc. Then you can ask me questions after that, ok? (( )) gently hugs to all of you. I've had RSD since 1994.

Thank u very much for ur response’s ❤️ I have been getting ketamine infusions I get them for 3 consecutive days then I go back after 3 months and get another 3 days. If need be in that 3 month off period I could go & get more infusions if needed. I have had so many operations resulting in 4 back fusions & cervical fusions I got CRPS from a collapsed fusion that crushed the nerve to my right leg & foot. It has also spread to my stomach and up to my hips & have drop foot. I would never get a SCS ever it’s been clinically proven it doesn’t really help CRPS pain. All they do is cause a multitude of major problems for people. Hope we can keep in touch with each other god bless wishing u all low pain days .💕

Where do you get your infusions? I used to get them for years and my pain dr retired. The one who took his place does them insanely differently and the one time I got it with her I actually flared.

My body is SUPER sensitive to most pharmaceuticals. I had severe depression on Lyrica. Given Cymbalta on top of Lyrica and that turned it into anxiety. Finally a pain specialist gave me a medical marijuana prescription and I haven’t looked back. I combine it with a topical cream with gaba, voltaren, and lidocaine. Mine is isolated to my right upper extremity from an electrical accident. So thankfully it isn’t expected to spread. The gaba, neurontin, and Lyrica sadly turned my memory recall to mush. It doesn’t seem like something I’ll recover either. 🤨
