Hello everyone and again thank you for your informative responses.. Funny thing happened while I was doing some research on doctors in my area who specialize in RSD in my area. The doctor I see for pain management pops up at the top of the list...I must say I didn't see that one coming. I've set am appointment for the 17th so fingers crossed she will be able top get me started on a treatment or at the very least lead me in a direction to find someone who will be able to help. At least for now I have some hope that things might be looking up. I've got my fingers and toes crossed, well as best as I can cross them lol.again I want to say thank you to everyone for your kind and informative words.I'll keep you updated we to what's going thank you and keep smiling..
