I have finally decided to go ahead and get counseling to help me deal with the RSD. I had felt that I have been dealing with everything fine, and have been able to work through it, but am feeling real down and really worn out from dealing with this lately. Perhaps it's because I am in a bad spell, but either way I have made a decision which will hopefully be in the best interest of my well being. I feel like I need to get counseling, and hope to avoid full blown depression.

I was wondering if any counselor would do or if it is very important to see one who works with pain. I don't know how I'd find one who knows RSD specifically, but I am sure I could find someone who works with pain.

Any thoughts?

Also, I am looking for input from those who've received counseling, and wondering what you felt was the best thing that came from getting it, and why you think it is important in treating RSD.

Looking for a frank open discussion.

Thanks!
