I'm glad you found our forum. You will learn a lot here to help you.

I wouldn't want to see a Dr. I don't like. I have walked out of many Drs. offices because we didn't click. I now have a PCP that does all of my medical care.

From what I have seen around here it's very hard to find a Dr. that does know a lot about RSD. It's a hard one.

It's hard to see a young person come on here with this RSD. I'm 55 and I have lived with it for far too long but to see such a young person have to suffer with it. We do have some girls about your age on here going thru it though.

I started out with it in my hand and arm and now have it in my right foot up to my hip so it does spread. I have it in a lot more areas also.

Did he just do one block on you. Most people have a series to help. I have had 3 and they had wanted to do 15 more but things happened that kept me from going on with them. The three that I had worked great though and I also have one before any surgery if possible.

Drs. CAN be famous and not worth their weight in salt so don't always go by the names.

Hang around there will be some on here I'm sure from your area that will have some names of different Drs. that might be able to help you and you might also have to travel out of your area to see a good one.

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time and I'm glad you found the forum to help you. You will enjoy being here and as I said, learn a lot.
