Hi, I am 33 years old and was diagnosed with RSD/CRPS in November 2008. My doctor was very optimistic that we would be able to "treat and beat" it and hopefully get me back to normal. Well, that hasn't been the case. Here we are, a year later, and we're still treating it. The pain is just as severe today as it was then and sometimes I think it's even worse. It's only been in the last couple of months that I have been doing alot of reading on the internet about RSD that I have come to find out that it is incurable. If i'm lucky, one day, it might go into remission, but then it would likely flare up from time to time still. I had no idea what I was facing when I was diagnosed a year ago.

Hello and Welcome to NeuroTalk, Lucky22!:)
