( she thinks ms) meanwhile, I've had three surgeries, blood clots, and am now in a wheelchair and my extremities barely function and my body in in constant pain,. Have any of you experienced anything similar? While most people don't get treated fast enough, was I treated too quickly? I have every symptom of rsd in my right leg, but my arms were completely different. I even said it was a different feel. So what the heck? Any input would be appreciated.

From what I have found in all of the different sites I have been to, earlier treatment is almost ALWAYS beneficial. I have been told by my own pain doc that "things could be better if you would have been diagnosed earlier". Trust me I saw many docs. Some that just patted my knee and said "we cannot find why you have pain" (the true "you are a drug seeker" but I don't want to tell you that) others who told me "you are just going to have to learn to live with pain" (the kind caring docs HA)
