I was concerned that my RSD is spreading. I give the info to his nurse, and she calls back and says he doesn't think its RSD spread and I should see a psychiatrist to (she didn't explain why very well I'm afraid and acted very harried and busy).

So....can you have RSD-like burning sensations beyond the original site and it ISN"T actually RSD spreading? Or is this guy just dismissing me as a hypochondriac? This would make him the third doctor this year to make that assertion- apparently I must come across as nuts to doctors. The first two turned out to be wrong (the symptoms were actually early RSD)...I'm really getting tired of this...
