So I have had RSD in my right leg since I was 13 and have noticed symptoms in my left leg off and on through out the years. Now there is no missing them. I am having burning, shooting, stabbing, color change, hair and nail growth changes-the whole 9 yards.

I was wondering how long it took for other people to go from occasional symptoms to full blown constant RSD? I haven't injured my leg but I am sure it is getting over used because my right legs RSD is flaring up and I am unable to use it because it dislocates every time it spasms (up to 15 times a day) so I am going to be undergoing surgery on my right leg.
I was also wondering if there were any ideas on how I can temporarily hold off spreading? I am unsure if the upcoming surgery will worsen both legs or just the one being cut. I'm scared and any advice would help. Thank you.
