It sounds as if the Doctor you have just seen is very efficient and knows his stuff.   It all sounded very positive, but I know it&#39;s a wait and see game.  

<br>
<br>
But, even so,  it does give hope, and he certainly seems to know what he&#39;s talking about and has been very thorough.

I expect it is a relief that you don&#39;t have to go on the program ..... I know you were not looking forward to... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hello everyone. My name is Chris, I am 29 years old, currently on workers compensation, and have been diagnosed and living with CRPS/RSD for almost 3 years
now. I have been told my numerous specialists and doctors that my case, even though it hasn&#39;t gone full body, has been one of the worst cases to treat
