Default Catching RSD early; Can this really help?

Hi every1!
I had carpal tunnel and cyst surgery on my right wrist in Dec '07. I got better for a little bit, but then 6 months down the road I started having pain again in my right wrist. I saw my surgeon and he immediately figured RSD, but sent me to a PM to get a diagnosis. The PM wouldn't give me a complete diagnosis but did 3 nerve blocks in my right arm and 1 in my left. In that time the pain spread up my right arm to my shoulder and started in my left arm till it got from my finger tips to my shoulder. No doctor will give me a comfired diagnosis bc i am missing some key symptoms (like burning pain, which has started recently in small amounts, excessive swelling, sweating and dryness). I know that people sometimes don't have all the symptoms, but my docs are treating me for RSD, and the blocks didn't help me for long, like maybe a day or two.
All my docs say it is good we caught it early, but what good can that do if i am not responding well to the treatments?
