Do you have to have discolored skin for RSD?
I have been suffering from nerve pain for 4 years. PA talked about SCS. The company that sells these implants had reps call me. I talked about my symptoms and two separate ones asked me if I have RSD. I think they asked because my pain if fairly widespread.
However, I do not have the red in skin.
I had MRI of brain and neurological MD said it had white spots. He ordered spinal tap and it came out ok so that ruled out MS. I had EMG test done and Dr says no neuropathy.
I have another brain MRI in July.
I have pain in abdomen, tingling in legs. Left arm has pins and needles. Face has tingling pain. Pain is worse on left side of body.
I am on 3000 mg of Neurontin. Plus hydrcodone and tramadol as needed.
