first let me say i'm very sorry to hear that it is starting to spread.
RSD started in my right ankle over five years ago, and after a year it spread up my calf into my knee and over to my left leg.
now going on six years it is in my back.
but i'm glad to hear you are seeing your PM doctor. make sure to ask lots and lots of questions. i to hide it from my family, untill i am 100% sure it is there to stay,sometimes i keep it to my self for to long though. like the person above said.
share with your husband, you did not choose to have this devasting diease. don't take the burden on all your self, or that will just make you feel worse.
i hope all goes well with the PM doctor.
keep us all posted.
here's to a low pain day!
