Even if the initial injury is treated and is now healed, that is no guarantee of successful treatment of RSD. I'm not trying to be downer...but I think in the majority of cases of RSD the original injury has already healed. That's one of the indications that it is RSD...that there is no longer an injury which should be causing this type of pain and the pain is way out of proportion with the original injury. Of course...there are two types of CRPS...type I and type II. Type II is the result of actual nerve damage and it is a little different than RSD in that sense. I have type I, and my RSD came from an injury where I sprained my ankle. The sprain healed...but the pain never went away and I was eventually diagnosed with RSD.

Whatever you decide...I really hope that things work out for the best.
