I went to a rheumatologist to get diagnosed. He was took a detailed history and did a physical exam. My FP doc said that rheumatologists are the best bet because they need to rule out lots of other stuff before they diagnose you.

Hi Linda,
I also have both Fibromyalgia and RSD and I have a lot of the exact symptoms that you are suffering from also unfortunately!! I spoke to my Pain Management Doctor and he said that because of the RSD, he couldn't officialy diagnose me with RSD but he thought it was very likely that I suffered from it as I had a lot of the symptoms and both illnesses often go hand-in-hand unfortunately! I have been treated for both Fibro and the RSD for a few months but from what I have been told, a lot of the treatments for Fibro are also for RSD and no two people are the same unfortunately! I hope you get some much-needed answers real soon and am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. If you have any questions, please let me know because I DO understand what you're going through!! Love, Alison.
