You may have stated this but have you been to a neurologist? That was the first to bring up my rsd? I have been to many major hospitals and have often felt not heard and rush/brushed off so you are not alone. My current pain doc is at a teaching hospital but not as huge as Cleveland Clinic for ex but my care is much better. On a side note about the moving of your leg. I have my rsd there and though it is extremly painful I have made progress building up the amount I can do. I remember atthe pain clinic the director who knew a lot about rsd saying if I did not move I woud really have problems because of atrophy. I am thinking though the pain doc who put you on meds is trying to anabal you to be able to do more movement so that it can get better. The doc I had seen said rsd can be like a dog trying to catch its tail. It is key to move but one can't always to the degree needed because of pain level but often the treatments allow that so one is able. Of course everyone is different so your case it may be different so make sure to always check. Many thoughts
