My thought would be to see a pain management Dr. They are usually pretty good at diagnosing RSD. They aren't always good at taking care of it but they might be able to diagnose it if it is. Also you might try a learning hospital. I don't know what state you are in but a University Hospital might be able to diagnose the problem.

It took about 3 years for me to get it diagnosed and it was a hand surgeon that diagnosed me after seeing 3 Neurologist, a Rheumotogist, 2 PM Drs. and too many more to name.

What I have noticed if a person lucks up on a Dr. that is up on RSD then they can diagnose it. Like I said the key work is lucks.

My PCP takes care of my Pain Mangagement. After seeing all of the Drs. I saw and getting diagnosed he's the only one that was willing to learn about it and help me with it.

I have had blocks, which reminds me an Anesteolgist is a good one to go to . They can do a block to diagnose RSD and the block may even help put it into remission. I had 3 and they helped mine. If you could get your Dr. to send you to an Anesteologist that does blocks then that might be the answer for you.

Others will have more advice to help you also.

Like you, I about went nuts until I got my diagnoses and started getting care to help with it. RSD is one of the most painful things a person can live with in my book.

I do hope you finally get the help you need to get your diagnoses and the help to deal with whatever you are going through.
