He has you on Naproxen for the pain huh??? You need to find yourself a GOOD pain doctor who has treated RSD patients before. You need better pain control than you are getting. Gabepentin is good to be on as long as you can tolerate the side effects, if not a good pain doctor can help you find another drug hopefully that can be helpful. That would be my advice.

And yes the pain can wear one down & drain you emotionally, mentally & physically. Good luck.

Well you have an excellent chance for a GREAT OUTCOME
Thinking positive will have a beneficial effect on what will happen to you .
You are in that early window of opportunity where you can be cured!!!!! so get yourself to a GREAT Pain management doctor and get some Stellate Ganglion Blocks(plural) or other blocks depending where your RSD site is and hopefully we will never have to hear from you again
I mean that in the nicest way.
You have a chance to beat this thing and you have to go after it with all that you have - physio blocks whatever it takes - work your butt off from every angle to get better !!!OK????????????????????
Then you can go back to that thing called your past life
I so want that for you so put that goal in your head and quickly!!!!!

Peace
