Somebody gave me a very useful website not long ago, as I was just diagnosed as well. I had 10 upper extremity surgeries in 3 years. the website is called RSDhope.org it is very helpful and full of information. Try not to overwhelm yourself in one day trying to learn all of this, I check a little each day, but mostly try to get involved in communication on the forums with others who are living the same nightmare. I am supposed to get some nerve blocks as well, not sure when and not sure I will do it (just my choice...petrified of needles). good luck and keep posting!
