I've had RSD for almost 3 years stemming from a left ankle injury. I have been on lots of meds and receive aquatherapy and acupuncture along with regular checks with pain management Dr. Very little change noted.

However, I have recently had severe swelling in my hands and more sensitivity in my right leg and foot. Until this occurred, my pain, sensitivity, and swelling were basicially confined to my left lower extremity and lower back.

How do you know for sure that the condition is spreading?

PLease share any clues to this for me, I am becoming more and more afraid that I will lose more of my abilities/ROM, etc.

Thanks!
