RSD spreads.
That's what it does. It's like "the blob".

I'd say that you're experiencing the spread, and your doctor simply doesn't know what to do for you, so, they send you to a psych.
What he's really saying is, "I don't know what the heck else to do for you, and I'm afraid, so go somewhere else. I've done all I can."

If you read it like that, he's doing you a favor.
Find a doctor who knows, and treats RSD!
No matter how many phone calls you need make.

And, don't forget the rsdsa.org !

They have a doctor finder! Put in your zip code...

I wish you the best!
