Hi,
Doctor's dont know everything. You know your body better then anyone. I know you don't want it to be RSD but if you think it has traveled then they should treat it now and not wait. Mine traveled and I had 2 unnecessary back surgeries because of it. My doc didn't believe me when I said it traveled. Originally it was in both feet. The left foot pain went away with a Spinal Cord Stimulator but the pain in my right foot traveled up my leg and into my butt of all places. Sometimes my left foot hurts but it's only for a short period of time maybe half an hour or so. It freaks me out so I know how you feel.

It took 6 yrs for a doc to suggest an anti-seizure medication which made a HUGH deal in the pain reduction. I have to stay off my feet including driving as much as I can but at least the pain is decreased.

I hope you feel better soon!
Heather
