Call around and see if you can find a good Anesteologist that has his own office, a good PM, or a good Neurologist. I honestly think though the Drs. brand don't matter if he knows about RSD. If one don't suit you, move on. The best Drs. I have had for my RSD has been my PCP, a hand surgeon, and an Anesteologist.

I really love this forum. I am glad that I found somewhere where people understand. I can relate to people saying that people on this forum know more than many of the doctors. I have found that to be true already.
Ada and Kathy,
What kind of doctor diagnosed you? The PCP was the one that first mentioned it, but I don't know if he feels as though he can give us a diagnosis.
U of M hospital is very good. I have heard many great things about it. The other option was Cleveland Clinic. They have a program for kids with RSD. The PCP decided that we could go to U of M because of the abnormal EMG. The neurologist didn't sound like he had much faith in the EMG, and he suggested that we have it repeated by a musculoskeletal (sp?) doctor. The PCP is going to talk to the neuro, so we will find out what they decide.
Has anyone else had a situation with the EMG showing something puzzling?
