RSD spreads.

Its a total bummer. But it spreads. Check out RSDSA.org. There's plenty of scientific literature on the subject.

Sounds like your new doc is not up to snuff on the subject of RSD. You may want to start searching for a new one. Look for a board certified pain mgmt doc or anesthesiologist at a good quality teaching hospital or large university. Is there a large city near where you live? If you search older threads on this board you will find other posts on the subject on how to find high quality docs.

The best of luck to you. I highly recommend finding a doc that administers ketamine infusions for your RSD. A list of ketamine providers is available on FB at "ketamine klub" or from Jim Broatch at the RSDSA.
