Lightbulb visit RSD forum for sure

but my seminar covered "triggers" for fibro... and chronic peripheral pain is one trigger. If one has the genetic up regulation for pain perception, fibromyalgia can result.

For what it is worth, I have had leg pain like that. I ice my back, rest in bed
and take ibuprofen (or any other NSAID for a day or two).

RSD has swelling, discoloration of the limb and other signs. It is thought to be an error of the sympathetic nervous system. Some people with RSD develop fibro too.
