Roz,

Have you presented this possibility to your doctor ? Gosh, how easy would it be if there were some definitive tests for RSD as there are for most other diseases. At this point in time it seems that RSD is really only diagnosed on a huge assortment of different of confusing signs and symptoms that vary in aetiology in everyone.
I would love the day when a pathology slip could be written with the request
"bloods for RSD/CRPS diagnosis" and then of course to have an abundance of well learned doctors to treat it.
I often wonder why for our 20 million population here in Australia the percentage of doctors who are nominating themselves as Pain Management Doctors who specialise in RSD and are willing to throw everything they can at getting you better, seems higher than in many other countries.
Having said that there are definitely some states here which are better served than others.
Heaps of luck Roz
Tayla
