Welcome Winter7

I am sorry you have RSD but glad you found the forum.

You will hopefully get a lot of responses.

People see different doctors based on their symptoms and other issues they may be dealing with.

Many people see:

-pain management specialists
-neurologists

Since RSD can affect nerve, skin, joint, bones and tissue, some people see a rheumatologist. What kind of symptoms are you having?

Treatments are widespread and there is a lot of literature out there about the common treatments. Some are effective for some people, some less effective, some people manage their pain fairly well, some struggle. It is all over the map really.

Check out the treatments tab of this site http://www.rsdhope.org/treatments.html

Here are a just few ...

- Pain medications
- nerve blocks
- physical therapy

I am happy to tell you more but I am sure others have a lot of good info to share.

Best of luck and welcome to the forum...
