Recently went to ortho. dr. (who did past surgery) and he finally admitted that i have RSD but all of his information is wrong. He says things like: oh it doesn't spread, it usually gets better and goes away, it's not chronic, and I think your pain Dr. has you on too much medicine. When i attempted to correct him- he just looked at me like i was wrong. I left the office soo angry!! I felt like he didn't believe the pain RSD causes. My pain Dr. said my RSD is over a year and that it is chronic. That there is a chance of it spreading if we don't get it under control. He has me on lyrica, cymbalta, kadian and lidoderm patches. Everything i have read says it needs a combination of meds to get under control. I trust my pain Dr. Anyone know of current medical articles on RSD that i can give this ortho dr.? Has anyone had this problem?
