New members posts may have to wait a bit for approval...so double posts happen. no problem..

If you stay with that PT- Don't let PT abuse you or grab your arms speak up and be clear & firm.. tell them they are hurting you. They are getting paid to help you, not make you hurt worse.
You may have to be firm about protecting yourself from anyone bumping or grabbing you rsd areas. Even out in public, no use risking more pain.

It may even be some sort of "test" to see how much you will tolerate to see if it is really RSD or not.. wc plays some weird games, do they have any say about who does your PT ?

Did the dog & his owner get in to legal troubles?

If swelling is the main missing sx, from the RSD list then it probably is a fit.
Maybe the swelling sometimes appears later on.. sorry..

Does your atty know anything about RSD, like long term medical costs?? as unfortunately there is no cure and might spread...

You might what to look thru the RSD sticky threads, there is one with pictures, so others will know what to be aware of if they get similar sx.
Better to know what may lie ahead than be caught off guard and not prepared for possible new sx down the road....

Getting late in my neck of the woods.
