Hi Diane,

I am newly diagnosed with RSD and new the the area where I live in NJ. I have had NO luck finding a primary care Dr. who will listen and is interested in helping me piece this together. I have been to neurologists, neuro-surgeous, pyschiatrists, pain management, ............. I leave their offices in pain, begging for help, to no avail. I can't find a single Dr. lead alone a team to work with me. It's been 11 months, I have had no therapy, I feel like I am being lead in circles and I am afraid the longer I wait the more progressive my pain/damage will get.

What types of Dr.s do you see? What are their philosophies? My current pain management guy takes an "anesthesia-based approach." He does nerve blocks, epidorals...but that seems to be about it. I have exhausted my brain to find help. I feel so desperate and I haven't a clue how to begin to find someone I trust that can help lead me in the right direction.

I would appreciate any ideas about types pf Dr.s, their philosophies, drugs, therapies, etc...

I have RSD in my foot/calf/lef from herniated disks/back surgeries.

Thank you!
