Okay, I had my visit today at the pain clinic. I wasn't able to see my pain doctor, because of a mix of with the scheduling date . I was told that I was a no show on the 29th. I told the scheduler that I had called on that date to confirm the time and was told that my appointment wasn't until the 10th. Any who, I was told that my pain doctor wasn't at that office today. I could have just died, but I was determine that someone was going to see me, in order to get the ganglion block scheduled.

I was told that I could see the pain doctor's PA. I agreed. Needless to say the office was cold, and my RSD in my left arm was surely letting my know that it didn't like it. I even had very deep bone pain and redness while I was waiting.
Had to go outside to warm up, but the occasional breeze wasn't much better.

When the PA came into the room we talked for a moment, and he said that he would write an prescription for the ganglion block. For me it will be done in my neck because my RSD is my upper extremity. The scheduler told me that since this is workers comp, that it needed to be approved first. That much I already knew, I was just happy to know that finally some sort of an effect was being made. I do have an attorney, and if approved my case will have to be reopened.

My question is this...has anyone been on Savella for their RSD/CRPS and if so how did it work for you?

I was given Savella but did not try it yet- let me know how it works!

Hey, sure thing Debbie. I did take my first one yesterday evening, but I really can't judge by just the one. I will be taking another this morning, and later in the evening. I'll keep you updated. Just wondering why haven't you taken it yet? Hey do you know something I don't .
