Listen in because what you know helps ensure healthy choices you can live with. Today on Healthy Talk, you wanted to know: I suffer from Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD). I take neurontin off and on for some relief, but what about foods for pain (I hate taking pills)? RSD is a condition that is characterized by symptoms including a burning pain, swelling, tenderness, discoloration, sweating, warmth and/or coolness, flushing, and shiny skin. Some foods like dark tart cherries, ginger root, omega-3 fatty acids, curcumin, and hot chili peppers can help ease the symptoms.
