Hello Rmclanahan and Welcome to Neurotalk - it is great to meet you although im sorry you have to be here!!! Everyone here is so nice and friendly so i'm sure they will try and help you and answer any questions you may have!!!!

I'm so sorry to hear that you suffer from RSD also and really hope that things get better for you real soon!! I have RSD in my left leg and both arms - I developed it when I was 12 years old after an ankle sprain and am now 14.

As your doctors said, unfortunately there is no cure for RSD HOWEVER it CAN be managed with medications and different therapies such as PT, HBOT etc. I have tried all sorts of things to try and make it better and none have worked so far although I always try and remain positive if at all possible!!!! Please dont ever give up hope - there is always research and different medications coming available onto the market!!

If you need anything, please dont hesitate to ask - I am more than happy to help you if I can because I DO understand how scary and upsetting it can be to find out that you have been diagnosed with such a scary condition!!!

Take care of yourself and I hope to see you around the forum more real soon!

Alison
