Thanks for the other info on Cymbalta. I agree with you some doctors just want to keep prescribing meds, thinking this is the only way to treat RSD. I've tried many things for RSD, i.e. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, studies in Davis, CA, but have never let them cut into my skin for anything. With RSD any type of surgery can cause it to spread. I do have a TENS unit and Lidocaine patches that are helpful. Best wishes, Sylvia |
