I have RSD in my right foot/leg/butt along with severe back pain (not RSD related-2 separate issues). As we speak I have a severe neck pain that turns into a migraine because of arthritis in neck. I had a migraine yesterday as well. My entire body is just a mess. It usually takes 7-10 days to recover after the holidays pain wise. Sitting is what causes the RSD to flare up AND my back pain.
I have to go my migraine is getting worse.

I hope everyone is doing well!!!

I hear you..I was diagnosed what was called RSD in the late 90's after several surgeries in my right foot. I had an accident at work and it crushed all the bones. I have had several different medical procedures but, nothing worked. I'm on high end narcotic pain meds and even those don't work most of the time. I'm actually addicted to them also. I get the ebbie geebies when it's time to take them. I get frustrated when I go to different doctor and they tell me "there is no such disease". I want to scream at them.
The pain is felt all over the body. like being thrown in a bed of hot coals. I've been told that I will always be in pain and now Fibro Myalgia has set in. A dose of 2 different pain related diseases.. So, I feel for you and hope you can get through this with a happy outlook on life.I know It's hard, but, you have to keep going.. Best to you.
