Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy/Complex Regional Pain Syndrome 1&amp;2 (RSD/CRPS 1&amp;2) &amp; The 3 Stages/Phases Of RSD/CRPS 1&amp;2 - Chat:

Yesterday, I Saw My Pain Specialist For The First Time, In An Hospital I Haven't Been To Since October 2004,

This was not good for my anxiety/panic-attacks, I was late by cab be half an hour,

The Pain Specialist was very nice &amp; his going to try to see if I can tolerate Pain Patches &amp; another Pain Drug that can only be taken once in the morning &amp; once in the night, But both The New Drug &amp; Pain Patches can be taken on top of My 8 Tylex Tablets,

He said The Morning &amp; Night Pain Drug will start off at a very low dosage &amp; Pain Patches last 7 days &amp; these may cause me to feel sick &amp; therefore I might need a some tablets to sort out the sick feelings,

He also said if I can manage the Morning &amp; Night Pain Drug, He will increase it to a high level.

He also wants to see me at The Homerton NHS Hospital to take an X-Ray of My Neck while injecting my neck with some form of Pain Drug or Nerve Blocker, Hopefully sometime next couple of weeks.

He asked if I had tried any other Pain Tablets, &amp; I told him I had tried Diclofenac, Ibuprofen, Tylex, &amp; there was one which couldn't be taken with My Anti-Depressants: CIPRALEX ESCITALOPRAM, &amp; Another one like Tylex.

I told hime I've been on Tylex since December 2002, As Diclofenac from: 13-10-2002 caused bruising on my body, bad Asthma/Chest, &amp; Ibuprofen Causes Bad Asthma/Chest,

One couldn't be taken with My Anti-Depressants: CIPRALEX ESCITALOPRAM,

&amp; The other one like Tylex, Was no more powerful than Tylex.

I told him I'd been taking Tylex from around Mid November/December 2002 - Present,

He was surprised I hadn't been put on any of the tablets he has suggested or pain patches.

He agrees with Miss. Ang that a limited or full wrist fusion may only get rid of The Wrist Instability &amp; Clunking, Snapping, Clicking, &amp; Popping, But I could still suffer Pain &amp; Discomfort.

He also said I may never be Pain Free, But I've always been aware of this fact.

He also told me never to stop using My Left Hand/Wrist, &amp; Arm,

But since: 13-10-2002 - Present, I've been making myself use it every day since: 13-10-2002 with typing, washing up, light dusting/house work, &amp; I've been doing twice a day Physiotherapy finger, hand, wrist, &amp; arm, &amp; finger, hand, wrist, arm, Strengthening Excersises.

But he said I should never push myself past the Pain Barrier, As this could cause more Pain, Discomfort &amp; Problems.

His also going to contact Miss. Ang &amp; ask why She didn't see me after The Homerton NHS sending her 2 referral letters, One from October 2008 &amp; The Second one from December 2008, As Mr. McCarthy is away on a 6 month + sabbatical &amp; both the covering surgeons, Can not 100% confirm if the 3rd wrist operation known as: Arthroscopic Thermal Capsulorrhaphy for Palmar Midcarpal Instability/Thermal Capsulorrhaphy for Midcarpal Instability that I had on: 24-07-2008 if its worked or not, Or needs a full year to work.

I hope these Pain Patches &amp; Morning &amp; Night Pain Drugs Work along My 8 Tylex Tablets a day &amp; Anti-Depressants: 40 mg's of: CIPRALEX ESCITALOPRAM.

&amp; Once the appointment was over from 11:30 a.m. or 12:00 p.m. It took me 2 hours to get the courage to find the toilets,

I then tried to get the courage to phone for a cab, But this sadly never happenend &amp; then I left Barts Main Hospital Entrance to try &amp; get a black cab from the street &amp; bottled it :(

So walked until I found a 242 bus stop, So I could catch a 243 bus to Wood Green to get a 141, 329, 121, bus to My Boyfriends flat.

Considering The Hopsital Appointment finished between 11:30 a.m. or 12:00 p.m., I didn't get back to My Boyfriends flat until 16:45 p.m. :(

My anxiety/panic-attacks yesterday was horrible &amp; made even hard with not really knowning Barts NHS Hospital, As the last time I was there was in October 2004 &amp; January 2005,

I am more used to The Homerton NHS Hospital Or The Royal London NHS Hospital, As I've been to The Homerton Hospital all the time since: 13-10-2002 &amp; 3 times to he Royal London NHS Hospital between 2005 &amp; 2006.<br><br>Post edited by: Scott_1984, at: 2010/05/14 07:38

Has anyone else on Ablehere.Com or a close friend or family member,

Ever had a Stellate Ganglion Block Injection before?.

www.privatehealth.co.uk/private-operatio...llate-ganglion-block & www.thh.nhs.uk/Departments/Anaesthetics/...e_Ganglion_Block.htm

As I am having one on Saturday 09th of May 2009 &amp; I am just wondering what I should except?.

&amp; If anyones had it, How long did it last for &amp; how often you have them, If they have worked?.

I've so fair been put on 50 mg Pregabalin tablets X2 A Day,

&amp; 7 Day Pain Patches 5 microgram/hour - Buprenorphine Transdermal Patch,

These seem to be helping slightly, with My Pain &amp; Discomfort, But its not tackling all The Pain Symptoms, But just seem to numbing them slightly, Which I am allowed to take on top My 8+ Tylex Tablets.

I am hoping to increase both My Pain Patches &amp; Morning &amp; Night Pain Drug to the highest levels I am allowed now through My G.P.

I've had some side effects to both drugs &amp; these have been increased wind, increased tiredness/Drowsyness, &amp; Trippy/Tripper Dreams &amp; Nightmares, &amp; One Trip on The Tube on: 12-04-2009.

But it still beats The Side Effects My Pain Specialist thought I would have, Which was throwing up or feeling like I was going to throw up.

I hope to hear from anyone who's been using or offered these Pain Treatments.

Hope everyone is well or ok :)<br><br>Post edited by: Scott_1984, at: 2010/05/14 07:39

Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy/Complex Regional Pain Syndrome 1&amp;2 (RSD/CRPS 1&amp;2) &amp; The 3 Stages/Phases Of RSD/CRPS 1&amp;2 - Chat:

I know I run this forum &amp; Have done since 2007,

But I don't have all the answers on RSD/CRPS 1&amp;2 &amp; The 4 Stages,

Or know where to find them all.

But does anyone else with RSD/CRPS 1 or 2 With The 4 Stages, Have An Over Argue to stratch/itchy the effected limb/body part of RSD/CRPS?.

I have tried looking for an overwhelming argue to itching/stratching the effected limb/body of the rsd/crps area, At: crps1and2rsd1and2.multiply.com/journal/item/1

But I can not find any sources/clear answers.

If I itchy/stratch any other body part that needs itchying/stratching &amp; Isn't effected by rsd/crps, It don't go red/purple, or make My skin peel, Nor does that needed itchy/stratch make Me go nuts :( :/

Does Your RSD/CRPS effected limb/s &amp;/Or Body Parts feel &amp; need very bad itchying/stratching?.

I've never thought to even link the to or ask weather they are or were linked, Until today.

I know some people on Ablehere.Com have had RSD/CRPS longer than 8 years &amp; A much longer RSD/CRPS diagnose of 5/6 years,

So I could do with some help &amp; advice.

Could the itchying/stratching badly only with the effected RSD/CRPS Limb, Just be coincidence or another underlying problem?.<br><br>Post edited by: Scott_1984, at: 2010/05/14 07:40
