Hey Chrissy,
My first appt. was with Dr. Maleki (2 years ago). He helped me understand RSD/CRPS. He also stressed to me to be an active participant in my health care. Even thought I had to make a nine hour car ride to get to Philly it was worth it just for that advise. Ask questions when you don't understand. We have a complex health condition that outside of Dr. Schwartzman's group and a few other doctors, it is not very well understood in Western Medicine. Visit the RSDS.org web site there is a lot of good information on the site. Take things one day at a time and enjoy the days when the pain isn't so bad.
Best of luck,
Sbowling
