This pain is testing my strength, stamina, will to move forward, pain tolerance(geeze, tolerance of anything at this point), patience, amongst other important aspects of survival and "thrival" (hey, I like that!) with this illness. My parents are helping me research pain doctors, and I am not going back for a second appointment unless they see and deal with RSD regularly and are willing to prescribe drugs like methadone and sustained release oxycontin. Basically, I am "doctor shopping" until I feel comfortable enough to put myself in the hands of a compassionate, forward thinking, professional. I'm not wasting my time or their time because the RSD clock is obviously ticking.
My man and the little lady just showed up at my front door :-)
Happy Healing!

Good luck with the doctor shopping, I know how crappy that can be! Congrats on the post!
Congratsalot!! Good luck for the dr shopping also, I hate having to start again with a new dr...hope you find a compassionate and clever one soon xx
Here here! Find what you need and don't give up!
Am surprised (only a little) that the docs there aren't willing to Rx OxyContin. I take it and it's even being recommended by the pain clinic doc - and they usually immediately try to wean you off narcotics, but he said I was the 'ideal patient' for it. Hmm. (i.e. I don't like feeling 'high' and never abuse my meds, etc.). Not sure I like the judgement, even though it's positive for me this time!
My own doc is willing to look at the other options in opioids - including methadone - which amazes me and makes me VERY grateful!
Wishing you the BESTEST docs to knock on your door. Well, so to speak!
