Injured right wrist in a fall Jan 2002
Diagnosed Jan 2002 a week later by PCP (when I was 16)
Originally ER thought i'd broken my wrist. Went to see PCP a week later because of the pain and swelling and blackness and she already had a patient with RSD so recognised it straight away. Diagnosis confirmed by orthopaedics, rheumatologists, neurologists and the pain team.
Still not comfortable with my medical team as they are bloody useless.

Good idea for a thread
