When you're new to RSD there's still a good chance to overcome it and this usually requires aggressive treatment. Generally this means attacking it on several levels including injections and therapy. The first couple years are when most remissions occur. Don't let the time slide by.

Good luck. This disease isn't a death sentence even if you can't kick it. Learn your triggers and try to stay occupied with life.

Good luck.
