welcome wild. i am sorry you have rsd but you found a great place with awesome people that will give you lots of compassion and support. i have had rsd for almost five years and got fibro two years after i got rsd. rsd doesn't really turn into fibro. but rsd can trigger people to get fibro as well. though rsd is different from fibro in that it also have physical symptoms where fibro does not, they both cause widespread unbearable pain. the combination is even worse. but i hope you can find a good pm dr to help give you the treatments and possilby medications you need to help manage your pain. heating pads and warm epsom salt baths help a little too. just remember NO ICE! certain types of rsd are recognized as a disability so maybe you can look into that so that you can get some medical care because with rsd you will need a good pm dr to help manage your pain. (i'm not a dr and that just my opinion and experience with rsd.) i need my pm dr. he has been a lifesaver for me. sending soft hugs and a warm welcome your way.
