Catra121, I dont know about you but when i went thru it it was so upsetting. I had a nerve injury and had surgery by a well known ortho Dr. When my burning and pain spread he was in such denial and finally sent me to 2 pain specialist who said it was CRPS2 which had spread. I respected him but it was so upsetting that he was so ignorant to facts about RSD. I went on to see 2 RSD experts and it had spread to "generalized RSD"(spread from arm to leg-leg-arm to face and scalp...) I did take articles in about RSD spreading and finally i took in photos of my extremities turning purple and swelling that he finally admitted that that he agreed i had RSD. To me it was so frustrating because i knew what my symptoms where but he made me feel crazy. Although he finally agreed he still was ignorant enough to say dont worry it will burn itself out.
There is plenty of articles about RSD and spreading and that it does not burn itself out. Hang in . momof4
