If RSD is truly suspected, your family doc should certainly refer you to a pain management doctor for a SGB (stellate ganglion block) to confirm that diagnosis. You should insist on a referral to a pain doc that knows how to diagnose and treat RSD.

I do not know what meds you are on, but treating RSD usually takes more than medication. It can be a combination of therapies to attempt to beat it into submission, including nerve blocks. A pain doc is usually the one who has the tools to do this kind of treatment.

This is not about "sucking it up"...aggressive, timely treatment is appropriate for RSD or RSD like symptoms (sympathetically maintained pain). It isn't about "accepting" pain, it is about managing those conditions that cause pain, to allow you to have some quality of life.

best of luck.
