Started gabapentin for pain and is finally walking and running again

but with some pain. Now having chest pain and back pain in her muscles.  Is this common?

Hello Christy,

I was recently told that I may have rsd.

I have had pain since receiving a whiplash injury.

Gabapentin was the only thing that helped my pain, I am now getting

injections, which have help me function better for a few days.

My pain is mostly in my left side, from the top of my head to my chest

and upper back, down my left arm to my hand.

Not sure if this is common, new to this.

I had surgery first of October 2008,I had my right ankle fused,after a year and a half finally went back to work in retail,not sure if I have rsd or what.Kind of hopeing some one can steer me in the right direction .Since my sergury both my right and left feet swell and my left is so painful if I haven't been on it for even a short period of tim it can bring tears to my eyes.At first I thought it was couse I hadn;t been on my feet much for so long but after working a month it seams to be getting worse.So if some one has any ideas I would be very thankful 

I have been suffering with chronic pain for almost 8 yrs now.  I have just recently been diagnosed with RSD.  I've had Carpal Tunnel surgery as well as Ulnar Nerve surgery and way too many cortizone injections.  So many different treatments & incorrect diagnosis'.  Both of my arms are now pretty much useless.  My life has been completely turned around by this disease.  It completely controls my life as much as I try not to let it.  I know there are so many people that are worst off than myself and I feel for them.  I cannot imagine how people with full body RSD manage.  I cannot fathom the idea of having the pain I have in my arms everywhere in my body.  I pray & hope daily for a cure for this monster of a disease.  I live in Iroquois Falls ON, it is in the Timmins area.  Our medical profession is very ignorant of this disease & it's symptoms.  I had to go finally go to Toronto to get correctly diagnosed and now hopefullly some treatment options will be successfull.  I'm soooo tired of taking pills. Oxycodone, Oxycontin, Lyrica, Efexr, B12, Vitamin E, now blood pressure issues will also be treated with more pills.  RSD = Really Sucks Disease! 

I hope to meet some people in this forum, especially if from my area, to talk to… people who really know what I'm going through.  And I would really like to be there for others who are going through the same.  Take Care all & be blessed with minimal pain & High Spirits!

can anyone tell me there case and how they are doing?
