so i met w pm doc a few weeks ago. ugh. i dont want needles. he wants to snb in neck not ready for that yet. i am however speaking up for myself better. currently on long term prednisone, 6weeks, to help with inflammation, tylenol up to 3000mg daily, and hydrocodone as needed for pain. told the team of docs my plans and goals and they are listening finally. i feel good just knowing less meds means less side effects, and i can handle this so far. i can handle the pain and the looks and the questions pretty good, what i cant handle is my family. they always offer to help yet give me the look like please say no cuz im offering to be nice not that i wanna do it. grrrrrr its hard to say yes to them when you know they really dont seem enthused to help

Please be careful taking so much tylenol. This will lead to liver damage if you continue for to long on such a high amount. As far as family, family's are sometimes difficult to meanover and even though you know what they are thinking use their offers to help.

Your maximum Tylenol dosage will very likely already be in your Codeine rx. Is your doc aware that you are taking an additional amount?

While everyone reacts differently to blocks, the sooner you undergo them, the better the chance for them to put you into remission. Most of the treatments and meds for RSD are difficult.
