Hi Desi  I sure hope the pain has subsided a bit.
Dr.s and their staff can sometimes be worse than having rsd itself! I was upset with my Dr. a few years ago, and told him about it at my next visit. I felt he was dismissing my pain as inconsequential. He actually had the NERVE to say "Let's get Michael (my honey) in here, I think you're being over-sensitive"!!! Well, that was the worst mistake he could have made, lol. Michael came in the room, took one look at my face, my expression as well as the tears running down, and went OFF on the jerk. I left there with new scripts, morphine included. 
I have found, though, that there are many other ways to make myself feel a bit better w/o using even more drugs. My favorite "escape from the pain" involves a product put out by Village Naturals that I buy at Wal-Mart. It's called Therapy, a liquid mineral bath. There are several varieties, but of course I use the one called "aches & pains". A good soak in the tub with that added makes a world of difference! I'm sure it's mainly in my head, lol. But anything that helps is worth it's weight in gold.
