Kristina,

Welcome to the group. First off, you are not crazy. Unfortunately, like so many we end up with dr.'s who don't know what rsd is or the fact that we are not faking.
going to the pm will be (hopefully) a good experience as long as he has experience in rsd. You will be able to get on the proper medications and start different procedures to help with the pain.
I am sorry to hear about your mom, that must be rough. Make sure you get on an antidepressent as well as pain meds and you will definetley see a difference. Just remember, there are many meds out there so if 1 or 2 don't work don't get frustrated. Be honest and truthful with your dr. and they can make adjustments to help you. Good luck and welcome.
