Hi I am sorry about your pain and dx. Has the person who dx you set you up with a pain doctor who deals with rsd? I think treatment through meds,other forms etc is very key. Also as someone who had anxiety before this it was something that really came back during. I waited too long to see a psych to help me mentally so I encourage others to go asap. It does not take away the physical but helps with coping of it and in turn when one is more relaxed I think that helps with pain. I know how scary and confusing this but it can get better with the right treatment. Are you currently on any meds to assist? What state do you live in?I ask cause I think many times a referal from someone who has the same condition and has a good doctor is helpful. I have seen so many in many states so I know that hunt for a good one. If you want an email buddy I am here. Support can really help
