A vascular evaluation may be helpful.. If it turns out normal, then you need to find a doctor who understands RSD (CRPS)...
Here is our RSD forum link:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum21.html
There is a stickie with a discussion and photo sharing...you might find the photos helpful:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread16167.html
The photos go from mild to severe.

Hi Legin
That's the beauty of this Forum and the wonderful members - chances are there are others here who know what you are going through from personal experience. We all sympathise from our own perspectives of suffering. Don't think anyone is ever bored by hearing of another member in need.
Just follow MrsD's links, I know you will find everything you need.

Dave.
