Hi again Sillyme,

 If your Dr thinks that RSD wont go to other nerve damage as they are also pain generators....you need a different Doctor! My Dr is in Ft collins Colorado and 95% of the people he treats have RSD...his speciality,he gave me this statistic.  He knows more about RSD than any other Dr I have ever seen and RSD travels in a large percentage of his patients. Ever hear about "mirrored pain". like when one arm is in pain the other one follows suit? I would like to talk to your Dr and wise him up but in reality...from what you wrote he dosent know squat. If you are on percocette you should know that is is also an opiate but it does signifacant damage to your liver and other internal organs, at least Oxycontin(what I take) dosent do that. Actually before I found my current Dr I also was taking the same drugs as you and they kind of worked, the Dr switched me to Oxycontin so I would have the liver/kidney ect. damage. Of course I do not recomed Oxycintin, I get real sick and its similar to RSD x 10 when I run out over a weekend and have withdraw symptons...their awful at best. I drive an hour to see my doctor and its worth it, I dont have to drive an hour each month to get my scripts filles as my local family Dr works with my RSD dr and I get my perscriptions right here at home. All I have to do is see my pain specialist once a year and get his approval to stay on the oxycontin,because I have never once abused it or asked for a bigger dose I have no problems!
