I have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy in my left arm, what can I do?

Well, since you have the diagnosis, you must have seen a doctor. They should get you into physical therapy for the arm. There are protocols for RSD in physical therapy to decrease the pain and sensitivity of the area while keeping and increasing range of motion and muscular strength.

If therapy does not help, you could go on the medical track and get prescribed drugs for the neurologically mediated pain. Neurontin is a common drug used for this. Also, medical doctors would recommend a sympathetic ganglion block. This involves shooting the origin of the nerves (which is in the neck) with a numbing agent. Sometimes this stops the symptoms completely, sometimes for just a short period of time, and sometimes not at all.

On the natural-based medicine track, you could get evaluated to find any problems with organ functioning to include problems with producing or utilizing hormones and neurotransmitters. Then recommendations for supplementation to support the nerve tissue and the affected organs could be done.

In any event, consult with your medical doctor on the medical track and find a Chiropractor who practices natural-based medicine or a Naturopath to go about the natural track. Good luck.
