Hi Sillyme208,
I too stumble for words now,I wonderd too if it wasnt the medication but I have heard this from other RSD sufferers. The worst thing neurontin did to me was put 40 lbs on me, I didnt stay on it long as it didnt help at all. I went for 2 1/2 years before I was diagnosed and treatment started.
Ive had RSD in both arms for almost 9 years. It started in my right hand after a carpal tunnel surgery and spread to my left arm with in a few months. Now I have to tell that I had several nerve surguries on both arms and I suspect that the RSD followed the nerve damage....My self I think it mirrored to the other arm just to fine more nerve damage to the ulner nerve in my elbo and carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand...I had surgery on both elbo and hand but they both became entrapped again. Well, try not to worry and I hope the eppidural help you as much as they help me.
