i have just recently been diganosed with rsd myself, i do the wax treatments as well, sometimes they seem to help great , but more times then none they jsut seem to take the edge off but if u or any one els with rsd has the bad pain like i get witch im sure evry one can relate to jsut takeing the edge of sometimes is a blessing in its self. im still trying to find other things to help i use a tens unit as well too. good luck and if u find anything thing eals that works well or thats worth a shot plsssssssssssss tell me
