Sorry to hear of your pain and new diagnosis. You definitely need to see a pain management specialist who is very familiar with treating RSD/CRPS and understands the pain associated with it. They will know better on how to treat you - meds, etc. I personally see my family doctor and a pain management doctor. My family doctor manages all of my medications, unfortunately I have lots of allergies so I am limited to what I can take. I have read on these boards that many have had success with Cymbalta, Lyrica, Amitriptyline, Lidoderm Patches...these options would give you a place to start. Just do not ice the area, that would do more harm than good.

Wishing you the best...
