So now we're looking for an RSD specialist, can anybody recommend one? We're in Colorado. Also, does anyone have any tips or tricks to helping ease the pain? I have pain medicine when it gets bad, and we've tried heating pads and ice and elevation, but they dont seem to help much. Especially the heating pad, seems when I use it that my muscles start to go crazy and spasm. Anyone have any better methods?

So sorry to hear about all the hassle. and boy is this Dx a HASSLE!
You might try PM Dr.Vitaliy Y.Domashevich, MD, Aurora, CO (I think he offices in Englewood too). He treated me for a while, and I will be reaching back out to him next month when my new insurance kicks in. He did a decent job of keeping pain under control and did a fantastic job as my anesthesiologist on a knee surgery I had to have after being Dx with CRPS II. I do not have a good referral for a Nuero doc yet. I am waiting for a friend of mine who is a PA to suggest one. Keep me posted if you find one. Best of luck!
