I was told that the best Doctor to see that can treat RSD is an Anaesthatist (sp?) as they can give you the nerve blocks and prescribe Pain medications that most Neurologist's can't.

I see both an Anaesthatist (Pain Management Doctor) and a Neurologist and they have both helped in different ways but the doctor that helped me the most was my Pain Management Doctor as he has been prescribing the medications and sending me to Physical Therapy. I was referred to my Neurologist by my Pain Management Doctor when I developed the really bad Myoclonic Spasms as he couldn't help me with those as he had never seen them before and thought that the Neurologist would have more advice and treatment options for me.

I see my PM Doctor every 6 weeks and see my Neurologist every 3-4 months. Neurologist's usually just work in conjunction with the PM Doctors and the PM Docs can refer you to them whenever they feel that they might be useful.

Not many Neurologist's know anything about RSD so some can be pretty ignorant and rude. I am SO lucky that my Neurologist knows about RSD and it was actually him that said he thought I had RSD and got the referal to my PM Doctor.

I hope you find a doctor that you like soon but I would say that you are better seeing a Pain Management Doctor (Anaesthetist) as they seem to have more treatment options and know more about RSD.
