Confused See doctor Monday for RSD diagnosis

Hi. I woke up on March 31st in extreme pain with a swollen right foot. Could not walk. Went to ER and was admitted for four days with cellulitis. Took it easy the following week elevating my foot. On April 16th, I returned to work. By lunchtime, I was in tears from the pain. The next day, I called my family doctor who said go back to ER. I was admitted for three days. Told me cellulitis had cleared up. My foot looked terrible with extreme pain, swelling and purple coloring. One doctor said I had gout and psoriatic arthritis. After leaving the hospital, I saw an arthritis doctor and neurologists. Arthritis doctor said I do not have gout or psoriatic arthritis. Said I'm a medical mystery. Neurologist said I had anyuerism or MS. I had a brain MRI and an MRA. Both normal. Then a friend of mine mentioned RSD because of my symptoms. I go Monday to find out if this is what I have. I've been on state disability since April 18th due to go back on June 18th but doctor wants me to go out longer and eventually apply for SSDI. There is no way I can work. The pain is so intense. I spend my days in bed. I'm up all night in pain and so fatigued during the day. If I do fall asleep either the pain or soaked in sweat wakes me up. I have five children and have always taken care of them, our home and worked full time. This is all new to me. Thanks for listening to my story and any advice for me would be appreciated. Thanks.
