My primary did not know much when I first went to him. (small town) however I have been lucky because he has learned more about it since I have been diagnosed with the RSD. My pain drs are in a bigger nearby city that I travel once a month to check in and get my meds. However when I went to seek some mental incuragement, all they knew about RSD was that they heard it was a "bear" needless to say you can find me all over the web as it is my therapy. But as far as a Pain Dr check out a larger medical center, I travel an hour each way, and that is OK with me.
