I am soooo sorry that you had to go through that...I was born with cerebral palsy and it effects my walking and the first time I went to my neurologist he almost said the same thing to me....I called my mother in the middle of the exam and she explained better why and how the CP effected my walking. Now on top of the RSD I just walk the beat way I know how...I have fired 2 pain doctors so far and the one that I really like doesn't take my insurance....so my MD is helping me manage my pain. He has MS and understands soooo much better than than any pain "management" doctor can. If I can find a good pain doctor that will take my insurance I will have to hang in there. Prayers go up for you
