Default Do I really have RSD?

Hey guys,
My name is Taylor and I am 21 years old. I was diagnosed about 6 months ago, after my third ankle surgery. My ortho doc recommended me to another doc, who i see now. I also went to the Cleveland Clinic to get another opinion. They all say I have the symptoms of RSD, but how do I know for sure. I mean something is clearly wrong with me :P but my leg looks completely normal. The pain has moved up to my hip, and I have all the other common symptoms. But I have no skin changes, or swelling. This makes me question if I was diagnosed correctly because I hear and see that that is one of the main symptoms. Does anyone else not have any physical appearance changes? or no any tests to help diagnose me for sure.

Maybe I am just having a hard time accepting that I truly have this, but sometimes I just wonder if this is whats truly wrong with me. I hate that its so invisible, it makes me feel like I am crazy.
