Maybe you're just one of those "lucky" people for whom RSD doesn't stick around. The rest of us aren't so lucky.

I have this for going on 21 years now and I am left with a disability because of it. So yes, people, please do take RSD/CRPS seriously.

It doesn't just "vanish" for most of us.

It took me almost 3 years to get diagnosed, and I think the doctors were onto it much sooner than they let on, and also thought it would clear up on its own, which is probably why none of those orthopedic specialists ever uttered a word about it. I mean were they blind?
