I'm sorry to hear you are going through so much.

Since this Dr. is dumping you, look at it as a blessing to find a good one. If you already have a diagnoses of RSD then when you see the next Dr. make sure you let him know that you are diagnosed with it.

It is hard to stand up to Drs. I dealt with that at the University of Colorado and to me when they have the Godlike attitude then their thinking is that they are never wrong.

My husband went through what you are talking about too. He had a WC Dr. that diagnosed him with back problems that needed surgery and when Bill went to a hearing, the Dr. said he'd never even seen him. Wierd.

You might try and find a PM/Anesteologist. They are usually pretty good on RSD.

I hope you can calm down where you can do what you need to do to find help.
When I first got RSD, I couldn't function enough to take care of my disability. If I had, I would have had it sooner. It's very hard to function with being in so much pain.

Read all you can on the RSD. One thing you might ask for when you do see the next Dr. is for some good meds to help with the pain to get you through whatever you have to go through. I realize most meds don't completely do away with RSD pain, actually none of them do but do try to get something that helps some. I have taken Methadone for years and like it but you might find others that work for you.

Stick around here for some of the support you need.
