Hi,

I just want to welcome you to this forum. I'm truly sorry you have been diagnosed with awful disease. I was just diagnosed myself in March. I developed RSD after a rotator cuff repair surgery to my right shoulder. I know you didn't ask for any advice so I hope you don't mind me giving it.... The best thing I have done for myself since my diagnosis was to research everything I could about this disease, get yourself educated, get a good pain management doctor and don't give up! Sometimes if a person is diagnosed and treated quickly enough after developing symptoms of RSD there is a greater chance of getting it into remission and I sincerely hope that will be the case for you. There are lots of good web sites out there like rsdhope and so forth that will give you lots of good advice and info. about what you will be facing! wishing all of the best jenny
