It was a psych doc that deals with pain. He should have used his time to teach us coping techniques, not make us feel bad about ourselves. We talked to other patients about it during the next break at the conference & they felt the same way. It's too bad bc we were all looking forward to RSD related psych info.

I think I understand what he was saying. Many of those with RSD feel a great amount of guilt because of the possible burden put on others, the fact that most people just do not understand the disease at all, and not just layman but doctors too, adding more complexity to an already bad situation thus adding more guilt to many.
