From reading some of your posts I can see that I was fortunate to see a Neurosurgeon from the beginning that was familiar with RSD. He was able to immediately able to get me into a pain clinic that performed a thorough assessment including getting a psych. evaluation. That process makes it more difficult for uninformed doctors to suggest otherwise.

At 5'11" and 220lbs it is bad enough to be in uncontrolled pain, but to have people question you about hurting is enough to drive one to... ness!

I've offered a couple of times for people to let me demonstrate how I feel, but so far, no takers. I wonder why?
