I don't know if any of you every caught the episode of Mystery Diagnosis on Discovery Health channel but they had one about RSD. You can find it on You Tube it is in 2 parts about a lady named Cynthia who was a Ballerina who developed it and it took years for her to get a diagnosis. Go to you tube and type in RSD and it should be the fifth story down lady in  red and it will say Mystery Diagnosis which is an awesome show.
Love to you all and have a great weekend!

I was not sure the rules on talking about exact doctors. Anyhow I only saw him once and it was actually because of this ladies story. He didn't offer much other then the lumbar blocks which seems to be what he does a lot of.I am not sure if this didn't work and he wanted the pt possibly. He didn't want to discuss after the first block. I was not against that at the time. Just felt very rushed and not so happy when they bad mouth another doc who wanted to the scs which does seem wrong for me right now so maybe he was right. Like I said I am not the best to give advice cause I have seen 4 pm docs like him so they know about rsd and I have gotten 3 different procedures and all say the other one suggested was wrong. Right now I am the most happy with my current pm doc if I do the procedure. If anyone has any ?'s though please feel free. Just let me know what I can and can't say. I know everyone is different and want everyone to be open to a doc not just based on one experience so I don't like to be negative about a doc except if something horrible happens. Just to think and process before they jump into something. We all want relief now and I know at one time I almost jumped into tts surgery not with him but another doc and if I would of I would be in much worse of a position.
