Hi Lisa,

I have had 2 knee surgeries, and the 2nd knee surgery made the already prevalent RSD symptoms become even more evident. My doctors and PT ignored my pleas of the constant burn, until the burn manifested into many other RSD by-products.

Your situation is different in that you know the RSD exists.
With that said, Pete gave you excellent advice, and it sounds like you already have this under control.

I will have you in my thoughts and prayers. Remember, it isn't the worst until they prove it is the worst. Keep your chin up, and know you have support here.

hugs,
Dew
