Pain never went away, and swelling began in painful shingles areas as well as lymph nodes on right side. Two doctors diagnosed with me with RSD/CRPS. Having a difficult time. Meds and PT have not helped and doctors don't want to deal with me. It's been 6 months and I can't imagine going through life feeling like this. As I'm sure everyone on here knows, it's difficult when friends, family, and coworkers don't understand what they can't see. Hoping the new year brings relief and understanding.

Hey Lottie, I have RSD following carpel tunnel surgery but my sister inlaw had shingles in her ear and was mis diagnosed at first. Her pain was nearly unbearable. It has moved and she was so weak that I really didn't think she would still be here. She could not eat ect. She is going to PT now and is so much better. She was put on lyrica which has helped a lot. With it moving to other areas makes me think she may also have RSD. I hope they find a cure soon. There are so many wonderful people on here. Hope for remission for all of us.
