Brief Answer:
it is from everywhere
Detailed Answer:
there isn't a direct change in law but we've gone 180 degree from encouraging the use of narcotics to discouraging them.
pain clinics
pain centers with university hospitals
even addiction centers are some of the options
sorry.
on another note RSD is a nerve problem and there are many medicines that will (slightly) moderate/lower the pain. This includes BOTH nerve dampers and vasospasm dampers (verapamil, is, technically, both). amitryptiline, lidocaine, cymbalta are nerve pills. CLONIDINE is an abrogator/stomper of stress hormones with effects on vasodilation.
