Question RSD-what does it all mean?

I was diagnosed yesterday with RSD by my neurologist. It seems to have been caused my damage that i sustained to my left arm from a car accident back in November.
I am on Gabapentin and Naprosyn, neither of which seems to be having any effect on the pain. I am scheduled for an MRI to pinpoint the damage to my neck and/or spine.

What can I expect from this?
Will it disappear with time?
What can I do for the pain?

The constant swelling and pain is leaving me mentally and emotionally drained. Is that normal?

Sorry about all the questions, but I feel completely lost right now and dont seem to be getting anywhere with my doctors....

Thank you!
