Everyone that I have talked with has been so kind and super understanding. RSD is such a strange disease to have...most people I know have never even heard of it. For that matter my own doctor had not heard of it!!!! My diagnosis was at least 6 months in because I had to figure out what I had on my own. Do you know of anyone else who had the the same problem with their doctor?? My ortho surgeon blew me off several times after my knee surgeries when I tried to tell him something was VERY wrong with my feet. Then, my PCP just shrugged her shoulders and told me to go back and talk to my ortho surgeon again. Sheesh...thank God I found all of you!! Thanks for your reply and listening to me whine.
