I'm going through the same thing as I did with my back problems. The doctors said that is all in my head too, and I still have pain in my back. But I deal with that on my known too. I try not to let anyone know if I hurt or not, because it does not do any good to let people know my pain. And I just didn't want to bother you people with my pain when your pain is much worse than mine. Thanks for listening.

Hi Ruby - I'm sorry that you are so frustrated. Pain is a scary thing in and of itself and then when you have different doctors telling you different things that just puts stress on you, which in turn, causes more pain. It's a vicious cycle. When I saw that you were going to get the shots in your knee I had to respond. PLEASE be very careful! You had a couple of doctors suspect RSD and if so, a shot to that area can cause it to spread.
I had surgery on my wrist over 2 years ago and the only symptom I have is burning pain. I've had 2 doctors suspect RSD (Neurologist/Pain Dr.), 2 Hand Surgeons say absolutely not RSD, 1 ER doctor even told me to get an attorney ha! However, I guess my point is to show you that you don't need to have all the symptoms and most doctors do not know what they are dealing with.
Please do not give up. You will find a way!
