Your symptoms do match RSD but they also match those for an herniated disc. I am confused to why they will not try a stellate ganglion block. I have had 7. The first set of 3 was at the 6 month mark, then the next set of 3 at the 12 month mark and the last one at 2.5 year mark.
My best advice is to educate your self on RSD/CRPS to proptect yourself from uneducated. I carry an information sheet from RSDhope (http://www.rsdhope.org/Showpage.asp?PAGE_ID=4&PGCT_ID=547) and a hospital protocol sheet from RSDS.org (http://www.rsds.org/pdfsall/hospital_protocol.pdf). I have given copies all my doctors and dentist. Another suggestion would be to join an RSD/CRPS exclusive forum. I belong to several and it can be very helpful when you have questions and you always have lots of questions in the beginning.
