I hope you feel better soon Catra. I don't understand why they put you through that pain. My dr told me that aggravating rsd can cause more flare ups. It doesn't sound like they know what rsd really is. If I were you I would check with a dr who is educated about rsd and see what he thinks. In the meantime, I will pray your flare ups subside soon. I am sorry I didn't see this post sooner. I was having alot more pain then usual due to my rsd the past few days and haven't been online that much. Sending virtual hugs and healing thoughts your way my friend.
