I think sometimes the longer you wait for a diagnosis, the more likely it is you've accepted the potential future duration of your pain, and therefore the more uplifting it can be. Don't get me wrong, noone wants this diagnosis, but having any diagnosis is a result after waiting so long with people disbelieving you. Having a name for it doesn't make the pain worse, at least you get to know what it is and what you can or can't do about it. My congratulations (and commiserations) to you. I had the same result at the end of March after 4 years of high level pain and 14 since it all started. I don't like having CRPS, but I did want to dance and say "Stick that in your pipe and smoke it" to the doctors who had treated me like a drugseeker.
