The "usual" treatment for rsd are meds, blocks and pt. The blocks are the thing you should be getting asap. They are a mixture of anesthetics that numb the body part and it interrupts the pain cycle. I know a couple of people who went into remission by having blocks done very early. They are no guarantee but they're an essential treatment after diagnosis. Pain management doctors are the ones who give them and pm docs are also the ones who usually really know about rsd.

With rsd there are never any guarantees but as of this moment in time, the above are the only "treatments" they know to do. RSD is different for everyone because all of our bodies work differently. What works for meds with one may not help someone else and that goes for any treatments they try for rsd. The important thing is to be aggressive with treatment as soon as you're diagnosed before the pain cycle becomes permanent.
