That would probably fall under Neurologist. Try your hospitals, and call the Chief of Neurology's office first.
(Many doctor's don't like to treat such Chronic conditions, for lack of improvement, and it's frustrating for both the Doctor, and the patient.)

I wish you, Your Son well, but, this is possibly a lifetime job, your best bet is to be very strategic, and looking under every rock for help for your Son!
The earlier this is treated, the better the long term outcome.
BTW, I've had rsd for 26 years, and went undiagnosed for 7.

Get him to SOMEBODY, be it a Neurologist, a Pain management doctor, or, chiropractor that can give him some relief. (I got by those 7 nasty years with a Chiro).
Keep him in the "system", so that these people can always be on the 'lookout' for more and better help!

Thanks for what you provided.
Because this matter is work related (Workmen's Comp) it has been a real struggle (last 1½ yrs.) I can see a legal battle brewing, thanks again.
