Hi, I see you are from East Peoria.Do you have a Dr. here for your RSD? Were you dx'd here or did you have to go elsewhere? To make a long story short, I had a
reaction to a tetanus booster in February that caused brachial plexus neuritis.Two months after the neuritis hit I developed deep aching pain in rt hand, hand goes icy cold several times a day, skin changes color, atrophy of thumb pad, and other sx. I have been through several neuros who all tell me everything is from the neuritis and will go away. I have been posting on another RSD forum and people have told me to get this checked out, it sounds like RSD. I have the name of a specialist in Columbia MO, but wd sure like to know if there is someone experienced with RSD in Peoria before I make such a long drive.

If you know of a Dr in Peoria, please let me know!

Looking for RSD Dr, need to get the blocks and confirm if I do have RSD. How do I find out if there are nay good RSD docs near me?

Welcome to the forum! Your best bet is the internet to try to find doctors in your area. I don't think this healthboard allows us to give out doctor's names.I go to a physiatrist who specializes in PT and a anesthes/pain doc who does my lumbar blocks.
Even if you can't get any names from here, I hope you stick around. Everyone here is supportive and helpful.
Take care.

welcome to this forum.

What type of Dr. are you currently seeing. I see a pain managment Dr. to treat my RSD. Unfortunately there is only one in my area so I have to deal with who I have.

Take care and stick around. We will try to help you any way we can.
