Hi Candicek
Glad you found the boards, especially after having inadequate response and no diagnosis as yet from a doctor !!

I am sorry that you have had to bear the burden of your symptoms and pain without any guidance, direction or plan, and to endure them as you try and make it through the work-day...

What kind of docs have you seen and was this from an injury, surgery or?
How long have you been struggling with the symptoms, and have you had any treatment at all?

Mike has provided excellent resources to help you and educate you.
The best thing you can do for yourself is to get as much reputable information as possible, so that when you do have appointments, you will be able to take an active and informed role in your treatment, and can make wise choices.

For now, refrain from icing the areas where you have symptoms..if the diagnosis is in fact RSD, ice is not a good modality.

Let us know how the appointment goes and know that you have come to a supportive and understanding place. Welcome to the boards!
