If he makes you feel like a junky find another doctor ASAP. It appears you are in Maryland? If so I live near you and grew up in Maryland. My wife has RSD and battled for years to get her treated. Since you've gotten an early diagnoses it is important to get vigorous treatment now as Imahotep stated. If you are in or around my area, near Washington you should try George Washington Hospital Center's pain rehab center and contact Dr. Chin. Or try Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. If you are near Old Town, Alexandria try Dr. Batista Quint at her small pain clinic. You can PM me if you'd like more info. I hope you the best of luck.
