If the edema is sharply demarcated on the surface of the skin along a line, it is almost proof that the patient has RSD/CRPS.
True or False?? Anyone else also deal with this?? A lot of times the swelling/ color changes are sharply demarcated on the surface of my skin... proof that I have RSD?

If the edema is sharply demarcated on the surface of the skin along a line, it is almost proof that the patient has RSD/CRPS. However, some patients will show a sharply demarcated edema because they tie a band around the extremity for comfort. Therefore, one has to be certain that the sharply demarcated edema is not due to a previously wrapped bandage around the extremity.

Here is a pic of my toes (it doesn't show well, it gets worse at times... my foot will be purple and about the last inch of my toes will be red):

I have also developed grooves in my toe nails. Another proof? Anyone have ideas or know if this means definitely RSD?
