My daughter has been sick with RSD for over 10 years. It started in her wrist when she was ten after a slight break. After nerve blocks it subsided. then at 15, and a knee surgery she started having extreme pain inside and out, burn like blisters (now over her whole body) interna pain in her stomach, inability to swallow, internal bleeding of kidneys....I could go on. For 10 years doctors have accused her of self mutilation and being crazy. Until just this year when we found a doctor who took the time to refer us to someone who knewabout it in Philadelphia. We live in DE and believe me, none of the doctors have a clue what RSD can be. Every time she had a surgery or an injury she goes into one of these flares and this time, a tooth pull started the whole think. This time it is very bad. Good Luck
