I do think it is spreading. I am in a major flare now. Guessing my barometric pressure meter--my pain level--is on the move. I am going to speak with my pcp about referring me to a pain doc. I would like to find a pain doc that knows what rsd can do. It would be nice to talk to an informed doc. I would also like to check into ketamine.

So, that's where I am right now. I truly appreciate all of your replies and feel your support is a good way to cope with rsd as well. The more I learn the better I can get, and knowledge is the key to being treated properly.
