Sandy, I sure can relate. I injured myself at work with torn tendon(a common injury) After vigorous PT my elbow swelled again with new swelling. I had EMG's and ortho said pinched nerve even though negative. Did surg on both started therapy again-this time i made sure i didn't let them get too aggressive, but wasn't getting better. PM diagnosed with RSD immediately. Ortho still disagreed. Another EMG(4 now) and that Dr said its RSD & since its over a year-it's chronic. Now it has spread to my feet. I like you, felt angry, sad, mad at myself... My w/c won't pay for psych.(how did u manage that) so i am paying for it and i have really learned a lot of how to accept and acknowledge feelings. Now pm dr. wants water therapy and w/c won't pay for feet b/c i only injured my arm. This is going to be a long road, but having people here to talk with has really helped me too. momof4
