HI. If possible you need to find a doctor who will give you the positive RSD or Complex Regional Pain Syndrome diagnosis in writing. Tell him what you have done to try to treat it. I know you probably can't afford a doctor right now, but ask for help from your local hospital or some group that could come to your aid. It would probably be best if you could see a neurologist. Have you had any nerve blocks or meds other than pain meds? There are legal measures you can take if you can contack the right people. Are you familiar with the official rsd website? It's www.rsdsa.org Go online there and ask for help. I feel sure someone will contact you. You will be in my thought. I hope so much you are able to get help. Sincerely, Terri Stevens
