So sorry you're going through this hell. I can't speak for France's treatment for those with RSD but the US has some major issues too like being ill with this disease and going bankrupt also, very common here. If I were you I'd get my pain under control, the swelling looks bad, so you could ask about short term steroid use (short term). Not sure about RSD doctors in France but I know there are very good RSD doctors in Germany. You should be able to locate these doctors relatively easily. Many have been mentioned on this site and many other sites on the web. I recall one member of this site from Malta who made trips to Germany for treatments.
