I still do not want anyone to touch or do anything to my lower left leg. I do not even like to touch it myself or wear socks. I only wear clogs so it is easy to get shoes on and off without having to move or touch my foot. The RSD moved to my backs and hips while I was pregnant, so I understand some of your pain. It took years for my body to recover from my pregnancy. Aqua therapy was the only thing I could do. It is still the only exercise/activity I am able to do with my foot.
You have the strength to get through this. I have to say there is no pain like RSD pain, nothing compares. And if you have managed that, you have the strength to handle MG if that what it turns out to be. Stay calm and try not to stress. I will be sending a few prayers your way.

Yeah, i was really concerned before having that last EMG. It did cause me to flare up, especially in my face. Did I tell you that I have RSD in my face, hands, feet, shoulders, left arm and left leg...oh, and my girly parts? You are so right, no pain is like RSD pain. I can only wear certain shoes (slip ons) and certain socks...but not always. I bet being pregnant with RSD was rough.
I'd say that 23 years with RSD and all of the other things I have dealt with along the way has toughened me up. Thanks for all the info and support, it helps a lot. Also, thanks for the prayers!
