Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Cindy First of all. Welcome to the group. i have RSD from a work injury. As for RSD pain---it can be either of those. People don't necessarily have to show signs of autonomic dysfunction. Pain can be anywhere. No swelling isn't always present but most times you'll see some. Not sure on the narcs getting the pain although the way I understand it narcs are the best change of pain control, but other meds are needed too---I still don't have pain control. My pain is constant. Is your son on any of the anti-epileptic drugs for the pain? I'm on neurontin although some people don't like it. Hope this helps.

Do many people with RSD have Autonomic Dysfunction?Can the pain be felt as a exact spot or does it always move in or radiate?Is swelling always present? Can narcotics get through this pain?Is the pain constant, 24/7?I'm trying so hard to understand RSD. My son's Doctors are talking about an implant and we aren't even sure if this is RSD. We just know that after 3 years of horrible pain, he is not getting better. He is taking 520 mg of MsContin a day and using Actiq 600mcg suckers as breakthrough and is still in so much pain. What does it take to break through this pain? Thanks for any help, Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
