Thats about it. All my 17+ doctors are sending me to Duke Medical Research hospital this fall. I'm only 17 years old and fixing to be a senior in high school this fall. It gets frustrating going to my doctors and all they can do is shrug their sholders at me. I have been atmitted to the hospital and have been rushed multipal times to the ER

It is possible to have RSD with several different types of other conditions, but by your symptoms you certainly have much more than RSD. The symptoms of RSD are severe burning pain, pathological changes in bone and skin, excessive sweating, extreme sensitivity to touch. All patients do not present all of the symptoms, but the symptom that is most common is extreme burning pain, and extreme sensitivity to touch. RSD does not have many of the other symptoms that you are presenting so seeing the specialist is something that you need to do asap. I know how it is to be so young and having such problems...I'm 15 and have had RSD fro almost 2 years. I would suggest seeing the doctor- you possibly could have RSD, but it is certainly not only RSD if you do have RSD. www.rsds.org is a good website for information on RSD. Good luck!
