Default New to RSD with question

Hi, I am new to RSD and trying to help my wife. We are devastated with what we read about RSD. My wife was walking on the rail trail and simply tripped on Sept 14 this year. She broke 2 fingers and fractured a 3rd. She was in a cast for 4 weeks where the bones nicely healed. When the cast came off, her 3 fingers were extremely swollen and painful. She consulted with 2 orthopedist and a pain management doctor who all concluded through xrays that the bones were fine but now has moderate to severe rsd. Question: Is it normal with RSD to not be able to move her 3 fingers? Since the fall, she has been 100% motionless with these fingers. Should the doctors be doing other types of tests on her fingers other than xrays? Would a cast that my wife complained to the doctor about being too tight make the fingers motionless? Any comments are appreciated. She has been on lyrica for 5 days and some patch for 3 days.

Jerry
