My anxiety attacks got worse after I got RSD. Same with panic attacks and the depression. I am on no meds for either. Spent 2 years on zoloft which made my depression worse and one on prozac which made my suicidal thoughts worse. I think councelling is the greatest thing a person can do to help through what we go through. It's not an overnight thing either. It takes time to get better from the anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. There are meds out there that help people but as I said I couldn't take any of them. That's why I knew I had to go into councelling. My family Dr. always laughs at me when I ask for meds of any kind because I think we tried them all. Bill was on Celexa for depression and it did wonders for him. It also calmed him down to where he wasn't anxious all of the time.

As far as your foot. Last Sat. I stepped in a pothole and I didn't think I hurt myself but by the end of the day I was limping so bad that I couldn't walk. I came home and used biofreeze on it and wrapped it in a heating pad and it helped a lot. Like you the first thing I worry about is the spread of the RSD. It takes time to know whether it is going to heal and not have RSD set in. I hope it doesn't for you. I do suggest maybe staying off of it as much as you can and give it some time to heal. I know they tell you to keep active but with the injury you may just need to stay off of it to see if that does help it.
