By the time I got to a good teaching hospital in Boston my RSD had spread full body.
Due your research and be very careful who you trust. Try to get to a good research facility.
Good luck.

Good point Sandy! We have University of Washington up here that I have been trying to get a hold of to see if anyone is doing studies or if they have specialists. My OT found a doctor but unfortunately my case manager said they didn't call her back. I think part of my problem finding good doctors is because I was hurt at work and no one wants to touch a workers comp case. As an RN, I have worked with tons of drs, and after awhile you know the good from the bad. It is just hard knowing that until you see them and picking from a list hasn't helped. I did find some sites that let you see if they had complaints against them and such but you had to pay for the info.....seems wrong to me. Hope this finds you Well!
