Can I ever relate to your situation. I have had RSD since 2000. It started in my left arm and now if full body. I too have recently (last year) been suffering from increased pain in joints. YUP!! You guessed it. Rhuematoid.

It's Everywhere! It's Everywhere!

It started in my fingers and wrists and now it is in just about all of my joints. I - not unluck yourself, recently found a "young" doctor who is a little more enthusiastic as you put it about diagnosing.

However, she strongly feels and I agree that RSD is not the cause but rather the catalyst perhaps? In other words, the Rhuematoid has been doormant and the continuous strain on my body over the last several years from RSD has caused it to rear its ugly little head and I'm only 44.

This really suck I know. But things could be worse I always say.

Chin Up My Friend!!!! Mark
