Smile Hi!

I am new to this community and dont quite know where to start.

I was diagnosed with RSD in my left arm yesterday as a result of a car accident back in November. I dont quite understand what the diagnosis means. I am waiting for an MRI and am hoping that will give me more answers.

I am looking forward to getting to know you all! And am also hoping to learn more about RSD from those of you who have been struggling to live with it.

Hi Kitty,

. I am sorry to hear about the pain you are suffering

We have a very knowledgeable and caring group of people in the RSD forum. I see that Abbie has provided the link.

At the top of the forum are all sorts of stickies with websites and docs and articles.

Please let us know if there is anything you need.

Hi Kittygato,
Everyone is correct, there are lots of knowledgeable and caring people here.
And when RSD is caught early enough it can be sent into remission and you can get back to your
life as you knew it before the pain. It is a lot of hard work, but with a strong will and determination, you can do it!!
I look forward to seeing you around the board, as I too am discovering different things everyday here,
and I look forward to getting to know you better.
Much Love, Peace & Many Blessings,
Marla
