Thanks so much for all the advice. I did tell the doctor who treated me about past rsd but she wasn't familiar with it. I am in a brace, but can remove it. I am keeping the pain under control, and have started the vitamin c. I am already taking Topamax for migraine prevention, so that should be helpful as well. What I really need to do is just not worry, but it is hard not to. That was a very difficult time in my life and I don't want to have to go through that again.
