I am sorry for your struggles and pain. A few thoughts and I tried to go through some of your past posts but am still confused so I am sorry if I am off a little in my response. I have a dx of RSD and PN but a lot of symptoms I have like my severe eye pain etc are still questionable dx. I am basically all dx tested out and have had so many opinions. For you though have you seen another neurologist for an opinion? Have you had dx tests repeated? For ex my first set of emg/nc did not dx me but my 2nd dx PN. I know you had a block but was that by a pain doc/anestesologist? If so is he/she knowledgable of rsd?
I am sorry about the doctor and stress. I think many of us of heard similar comments. I know I have often come home crying from an apt because of a comment by a doc. If I were you I would try to get another opinion. Also it is ok to cry and in front of people. Sometimes to heal you have to let the emotions out. There are so many times that I feel the fight is out of me. Like how can I face this but that is when I try to use the support I have and take 1 day at a time. The more I worry about the future the more stressed and anxious I become. I try to focus on today and do the best I can. This is my best statement which I have said many times on here from my pain doc. On the bad days do the best you can and on the good days do the most you can. Also that being in chronic pain for so long has to impact one mentally and why he encouraged me to see someone for that side of things. I think so much is how a doc states something. Sending warm thoughts
