rsd can cause bone wasting. i have had rsd for almost five years and have suffered bone wasting in my hips (osteopenia) and in my teeth (lost five teeth) and in my initial rsd site which is my right wrist, hand, fingers, elbow and shoulder. rsd can also cause atrophy which i have in my original rsd site and right foot and toes. i take vit d to bring my level up to try to strengthen my bones. i am not a dr but if i were you i would ask them about ways to try to strengthen your bone. soft hugs.
