You ought to ask the Dr just exactly does it mean that 'you have components of RSD'?? Just what the heck does that mean. And that since he has verbally said to you & your husband you have RSD then why the heck didn't he write that in his report?? I really hate how doctors word crap like that. My podiatrist told me that the pain might get worse if I had surgery on my foot, he didn't tell me I had RSD or I would NOT have had the darn surgery. But in his darn report he wrote that he told me I had RSD. Heck I didn't hear of RSD until I saw a pain specialist & then went searching on line for 'burning pain' & RSD was the first thing that came up. This was in 2004. So then I took this info back to the PM Dr & he agreed that is exactly what I had. I told the stupid podiatrist what he said & then he said I don't think so. But his stupid report did. GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Sorry you are dealing with stupid 'supposed' medical professionals.
