Hi there - Its Ali's mum here
Just back from Hospital - the swelling has not gone down at all - indeed the whole of Alisons leg below the knee is swollen
Her Consultant took a look amd said he had never seen anything so bad in all of his years dealing with RSD and sent her for an Untrasound to make sure there were no blood clots
The test howed no signs of clots but did show that the muscles were extremely swollen so Alison was admitted to hospital for further tests to rule out compartment syndrome, cellulitis and myositis
The staff are quite positive that this will turn out to be a side effect of the RSD and nothing sinister but I cannot find anything which says where the swelling found in RSD is located - ie is it in the muscles or elsewhere
If anyone could shed any light on this I would be grateful as it seems to be one thing after another at the moment - with nothing positive to grasp a hold of !!!!
