Hi
Sorry there is no clear cut answer but I think RSD has many similar patterns. Now I can only speak for me, but with my RSD, there is no way I can do much of anything that does not cause huge pain in all ways. When I first contract RSD it is much worse than 10 years later, but at initial injury and up to many years, I have inhumane pain upon anything. It sets into the muscles, joints, bones, nerves, skin etc. Catch and pop and pressure could be anything. I think people with RSD (often, not always) tend to use words like this to describe their pain, or I sure have
- burning, severe
- bone crushing
- feels like acid is pouring on them
- crushing
- spasms
- excruciating
- extreme sensitive to touch, of any kind...often not always....
- I have used terms like " feel like truck is running over the arm, leg"
- stabbing pain
Not sure if this helps and don't want to speak to others, but with my RSD I could not do anything without severe pain. It is not as bad as it was, but it is always bad and extremely painful....so....
I hope this helps...

So one of my main questions is does anyone have sensitivity to certain types of stimulus but not others? It seems odd to me that I can touch my knee, even lightly but I cannot have fabric on it. And it feels mostly like pressure like I have a large brick sitting on my knee when fabric is on it.
I've seen 6-7 different doctors and none could figure it out until this last one started suggesting rsd.
