thank you the nice welcome. i am glad i have finally found a doctor that knows what he is doing. i have to wait another week to make an appoinment with the other two doctors i am going to see. i do have a question though, does anybody know what other things i will have to worry about since i already have degenerative disk disease in my lower back and some other problems. will this problem make the rsd worse. and is it normal to have pain spread to my other leg and hips within 4 months.
