Therapy: For rsd or crps it is important to go through desensitization therapy where the therapists uses various touch modalities to teach your sensory system to feel normal again. Sympathetic blocks help better earlier in the disease process. Medications like membrane stabilizers (gabapentin) and some antidepressants may help. Spinal cord stimulation may help as a last resort. I hope you get better.

IMMEDIATE TREATMENT: Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (rsd) requires immediate and aggressive attention starting in a progressive and logical fashion. Usually membrane stabilizing drugs (i.e. Lyria/neurontin) and sympathetic injections (i.e. Lumbar sympathetic blocks) play a critical role in breaking the cycle of inappropriate nerve firing. When these measures fail spinal cord stimulation remains an excellent option.
