If your Dr. says your RSD is gone, I would be looking for another Dr. To me when a Dr. says that, it makes me think he's not very knowledgable on RSD or he just doesn't know what else to do for you so he is passing it by as nothing.

Also, you might be dealing with Fibromyalgia too. It comes with RSD often and causes the pain in the back, neck and shoulders and it can be burning pain also at times.

My right arm is the one that froze on me. I have had 5 surgeries on my right arm and hand to get it usable along with Physical Therapy. I have been able to get the RSD into remission but I still have to watch what I am doing with both arms. I now have a torn rotator cuff on the left side. You may have more going on then just the RSD.

Don't give up, and think about a new Dr.
