Dillypooh,

Sorry that you may have RSD, but welcome to a great place to be if you do!

Just because you don't have discoloration does not rule out the possibility of RSD. My feet look normal colorwise yet I can't stand for air to blow on them. The air from a fan will literally send me scurrying for cover. They ache deep within and burn. Cold makes them hurt, heat makes them hurt, standing/walking on them makes them hurt, etc., etc. Sometimes when I have shoes on my feet sweat like I'm standing in a sauna. Other times I have a sudden striking pain like someone just pounded a hot metal poker through one of my feet. Go figure, huh? My point is that symptoms vary from one person to the next, but pain is a common thread.

I've communicated with several people who cannot even stand for socks or shoes to touch their feet, much less be on their feet. So you can see that there are many variations to this monster. Time will tell.

Take care of yourself,

EJ
