Hi Jenn,

Do you have anything for pain to help you get through the night?

I would be upset, too. I think I would go park myself on his doorstep (office) first thing in the morning and request to be seen. (Appt. or NO appt.) If told, I could NOT be squeezed in, I would make a big scene in front of all the other patients in the waiting room.

OK, maybe I am just reacting and would not do that, but maybe I would. I don't know.

I just know I would be very confused, frustrated, ticked off, etc., just as you are right now.

Please keep us posted as to what happens and how you are doing?

The next I say is NOT advice in any way as I am NOT familiar with RSD/CRPS. But just based upon the "heat", "swelling", will applying ice packs be of any help? Or is that contradictory in your condition?

Are you able to take anything to prevent or reduce a fever if one develops a higher temp during the night?

Getting through tonight is the main concern and then getting proper medical care from someone during regular hours tomorrow is the next step.

I sure hope you can find some relief tonight.
