I just found this site. I was just diagnosed with early RSD and I'm afraid that I don't understand it. I was hoping that someone would know a bit more about the disease. How fast does it progress, etc? I have always been an active person and from what I have read there is no cure and I want to stay active. Is there any options out there? I fractured my ankle 5 months ago and have only been out of the boot for 2 1/2 weeks. I find walking or stand for any length of time to be quite painful. HELP
