I also injured my hand a year ago at work and developed RSD and the physician kept telling me it was all in my head and there was no reason for what was happening with my hand...one look and he knew. He is just one that doesn't like things to deviate from the normal and he couldn't deal with it. Time to move on and find someone that will treat the condition and me the way it should be..still working on that one. I am 53 and my husband is also not understanding of the pain and limitations this has on everyday life that we all take for granted..sleep being a major one.
I am new here also, but you are not alone..from what i see this is a good way to see how others deal with this monster and cope. Hang in there!
