I agree early agressive treatment is a must. NO ICE either! that is a big no no with RSD. If you can get into someone who does sympathetic nerve blocks ASAP, your wife as a better chance of having a remission.
I find it wonderful that you already have been told that she has this. Not that she has this but that she had doctors who are familiar with RSD. Most of us were not so luckly and have to go doctor to doctor, until we can find someone who is knowledgable.
Anywho, welcome to both you and your wife. We are a great family here. You are welcome to rant, rave, vent or just ask questions.
