Default Need RSD/CRPS Doctor referral in Philadelphia PA

I have a return of RSD and need some suggestions of well-experienced RSD doctor in the Philadelphia PA area. It would be great if they were from Jefferson University Hospital, since I am already seeing several specialist there for autoimmune diseases.

thanks

Hello Kathie, In an effort to better understand the American medical system, I'd like to ask if it is possible that your specialists at Jefferson might be able to give you a hand with this, or, is it the patient's responsibility to find a specialist?

Are you asking because you want to hear from people who have had a rewarding experience with a particular specialist? This is often the case here.

I spent 2 years finding the right specialist to treat the MG. When I first developed the RSD, it took 10 years to find the right specialist and treatment to get it under control. Unfortunately that was 15 years ago and so much has changed, I just don't want to waste any more time going from doctor to doctor. I think the MG has kicked off the RSD again. I value the opinion of others who have gone through this to point me in the right direction.

thanks
kathie
