I wasn't diagnosed for 4 years. Went to a sports injury hand Dr. and he knew right away-sent me for nuclear med test to confirm. Then I came back to my state and found a neurologist who also confirmed after more tests and found a hand dr. and physical therapy. It was too late to get full rage of motion, so have a crippled claw hand. but thankfully I am completely mobile, since I have full body rsd and internal rsd also.
Physical therapy was important as well as massage therapy helped me. When I went full body, I found a wonderful psychiatrist, who also is a neurologist and pharmacologist. So he basically is my pain management Dr. and has helped me go thru the grieving process of loosing so much, like not being able to work anymore, loss of all the sports I enjoyed, like tennis, water skiing, snow skiing, hiking, etc. I'm on a lot of meds, learned a lot about RSD and find joy in supporting others.
