I am annie I was DX with RSD 3 yrs ago!! I feel for any one who has too deal with this really beast of a monster of creativity to our bodies!!! I am so sorry that anyone should have too deal with this monster. IT is painful and creates alot of hard too live with facts. We have too keep in mind we have too be able too talk too our drs about anything that is happening in our bodies and how the pain is affecting us. And also if the dr is not informed on the subject of RSD,, dr should be able too direct you too one who is informed so that correct treatment is given ASAP. That is one thing with RSD correct treatment is needed as soon as is possible too help with therapy and treatment of. LOVES and blessings annie
