I am having a horrible time gettting a doctor to treat my RSD. My latest doc is a very smart neurologist but I don;t think he has treated many with this monster. I emailed 2 weeks ago asking for any help on what preventative measures I could take before my March 9th surgery. He emailed me today saying I could take 500 mg of vitamin C for the fractures. I didn't ask for help on the fractures I ask about the rsd. I was looking for, would it be a good idea to have a nerve block before surgery or would topomax be a good drug for the burning? It is so darn upsetting not to be able to get answers or help. I live in Minnesota so if anyone out there can point me in the direction of a doc I would be so thankful.
