Smile Please let me know where I'm probably misinformed concerning RSDS.

Thanks.
From a laymen's point of view the gist of RSDS/RSDS medical treatment in our country is as follows:

Unfortunately, most of the traditional pain management centers in America merely mask the problem(s) and they don't cure them especially when it comes to RSDS. [I'll explain the reasons why in a bit] The traditional pain management medical team invariably/often consists of orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, and psychologists/psychiatrists [the latter not because the excruciating pain is in the patient's head, but rather their methods/focus are primarily directed at having the patient cope with the excruciating pain.] They use traditional [expensive] machines such as MRI's sonograms, X-rays etc. to assess the problem(s) [Many of you are probably much more familiar with them than I am.] coupled with pain-killing drugs such as neurontin which unfortunately oft-times doesn't work one iota.
From what I can gather there is only approximately 2,000 to 2,500 new cases of RSDS in the U.S. each year. Accordingly there seemingly isn't the financial incentive to invest in alternative equipment or treatments--ones that actually work. I've previously indicated the centers in America that concentrate on RSDS. Anecdotally, I think you'll find the following interesting from a medical standpoint as to how our 12 year old granddaughter was seemingly cured of RSDS. First Dr. Constance Haber of Monroeville, PA took a thermal image of her foot and it was blue! Really! Next our granddaughter had two ninety minutes photon sessions back to back. The treatment didn't seem to work at first and our granddaughter's pain conintued to be about an 8 on a scale from 1 to 10. The next day after her 90 minute session. our granddaughter noted that her pain seemed to diminish to a 6. The thermal images were mostly orange and red. The next day after her photon treatment it went from a 6 to a 4 and later that evening our granddaughter said that it went to a 2. The next day they took a thermal image of Cameron's foot and it was bright red and after her 90 minute photon treatment the pain miraculously had abated after approximately 4 to 5 months of omnipresent pain! What are everyone's thought's? Miracle? Inevitable? Something else--etc.?
