It's likely that most of us have RSD because of misdiagnosis and/or delay of diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Welcome to our nightmare....

I can't tell you what constitutes the above (I'm not in the medical field) - but I would recommend that you immediately focus your efforts on getting to the best PM doc in your area ASAP. Often a combo of meds and blocks early on can help quite significantly.

So sorry about your job loss and terrible pain. Please take care. XOXOX Sandy

in the treatment of rsd ? I contacted one medical expert and he said that 2 months is reasonable time for misdiagnosis in rsd. Where do they get this information ? I suffered a bad foot injury, had no work restrictions and ultimately lost my job, and wasn't diagnosed until 2 months by HMO. Lack of treatment and physical therapy has resulted in agony and suffering Thanks for your time
