I'm sorry to hear about your situation with the physician. I live in Pennsylvania and have been waiting for over a year to be able to go to Philly to see Dr. Swartzman. The regular physician I see has been learning about RSD with me. I've found some rather interesting information on the net about the subject. And I have found if I go to my Dr. with said information. They are more than willing to learn and listen to me. I've been very fortunate in that respect. Perhaps a medical referral service would help. I hope you feel better soon. I know it's not fun. Soft hugs

injilalu....sorry if I spelled wrong. Brain fuzz. I also broke my toe the middle one on the left on January 2nd or 3rd can't remember exact. My dr tells me it is the normal healing. Why is it purple and red still and feel like a million bees are stinging it while an alligator is ripping of the skin I ask myself? My PCP is very conservative and I am doing everything to keep it where it is paraffin baths, epsom salts, comfortably warm as it is going icy on me. 3 months and not getting better but I am paying close attention if it moves closer to the rest of my foot I am running to my PMD. Try all the tricks you did with your rsd originally. It may help but I would have a PM doc lined up for you just for safety sake and peace of mind..................I am not panicking yet but close.XXXXXXDebbie
