Question Really RSD or could it be something else?

Hey all! Hope everyone is as well as they can be tonight. Well, i guess let me get to the point. I am beginning to wonder if i was misdiagnosed. First off, from what most of you have told, getting a RSD Dx usually takes awhile and after a bunch of tests are ran. I had an MRI and my blood work was done, about a month or 2 before the MRI (B4 any symptoms). My doctor (whose is actually a PA) basically Dxed me from the MRI (the speckled replacement of marrow w/ fatty marrow), the little bit of swelling i had, the slight discoloration, some temp change, and the pain. However, the pain is not burning really, it's like a deep bone pain w/ the occasionaly pins and needles to where i feel like a pin-cushion from the inside out. Now, my foot falls asleep if i am sitting more than 5 min, my "good" leg's foot also starts to feel "sleepy" it i have it bent for too long, also both of my hands are starting to get it also if my elbows are bent for too long (and i ain't talking 30min either...10 at the most). My hands and arms are starting to seriously remind me of how they felt when I reputured my C5-C6 disc, plus i'm getting the numb, tinglies, light-headedness in the back of my head again. Also none of my extremities feel like they fully want to listen to me, they are sluggish. Granted, last time it didn't start in my legs and this time my legs work....but i don't know what the hell is going on. My husband is army and so I have to have military healthcare, which means waiting forever and a day for any and everything. Does anyone know what these symptoms/sentations could indicate? I am seriously thinking about getting another opioin...as soon as I figure out how i can do that. Thanks ever so much in advance.
