my surgery was two months ago and I was diagnosed with RSD two weeks later. I already want my old life back so badly. I'm so sorry you've been dealing with it for so long. It just stinks. I'm tired of every step being either impossible or horribly painful.
I keep reading about the two types, and I'm just curious if having one instead of the other means the treatment is different. My doctor seems to have quite a bit of experience with RSD but isn't giving me much hope of getting back to my normal life. I don't know if it's worth the money and effort to travel to a bigger medical center for an evaluation (Stanford in CA is doable for us. I have a referral and am waiting to be scheduled).
