I was diagnosed with Rsd/Crps in June/July 2011 (from an injury in Feb. 2011 and surgery in April 2011). This was documented and briefly mentioned to me with no explanation except look it up on internet and do some research. Looking back on it, I was really stupid with going along and trusting the physician and OT...with nothing really being done.

To this point, over a year later I have still been in OT 2-3x/week (except for a 6 week time in Dec. when the surgeon said it was all in my head, nothing was wrong and caused a flare that was almost back to where I was in November), eating Motrin 800mg 4-6x/day, and just had a stellate ganglion block 5 weeks ago (which resulted in another flare up involving the rest of my arm).

Anyone have any advice on a GOOD physician in Michigan that can point me in the right direction and get me on the path to feeling better? It seems this is unknown and i keep getting bounced all over with no positive results.

Also, anyone also suffering from this..any helpful tips on how to deal with this condition in everyday life would be appreciated.
