NO--There are many signs that describe RSD but you need not have all of them as most suffers don't. We are all different with our symptoms and evidence of the disease. PAIN in itself is enough for me but I personally had many of the telltale signs and it still took a long time to get a DR to diagnose the symptoms as RSD. The doctors will tell you what you "don't" have if they are not familiar with RSD/CRPS . Make sure your neurologist is educated with RSD symptoms and pain. Best of luck in the future. I do hope things go well 4 you and your pain is controlled.
