Sorry to hear what you are going through. It is sad that it took them 3 years to diagnose you with rsd. The doctor that told you to RELAX needs to be replaced ASAP. I went to 10 before I found 1 that was knowledgeable and compassionate. I went for an entire year with no pain meds!!! So, please don't be afraid to find another doctor and get a second opinion. Normally they do extensive blood work as well as a bone scan before they diagnose rsd so, like Joan suggested, be sure to have these done. Please don't feel bad that nothing has worked yet. Many here have had the same experience.It takes time and a good doctor to find what will work for you. Wishing you the best...Jeannie
