Gabbycakes, I started with what they thought was a neuroma but then they just said it was a compressed nerve and surgery doesnt have a high success rate-and it didnt. My RSD has spread everywhere and i feel like it is just a viscious cycle that will keep my RSD in flare. I met a friend that was diagnosed with RSD a few years before me. She started with new neurologist who thought it might not be RSD and did an MRI of the brain and found that she doesnt have RSD but MS.
I hope they are able to help you.
