Heart (((((((hugs)))))))

Awww bid soft hugs hon, I hope you are feeling better soon..
I would go to your doc ASAP and get him to rule other possibilitys out.. also I would sugest you send that doc a copy of Patterns of spread (link below).
And as Ada says it is very possible to have another disorder piggybacking this one.. seems to me that another like lymes wouldn't show up in 3 limbs but we know RSD does..

There is such a shocking lack of knowlege in our medical system its apalling, and that doc is an anethesiologist.. actualy 2 years ago my anesthesiologist did the same thing but ended up doing bilateral blocks eventualy, but ignoring the rest because "RSD did not present in four limbs and claimed I had lupus or fibro.. lupus was negative after a false positive, and I do have fibro but not many points. I will also send you a copy of "RSD a case of full body involvement" if you email or let me know where to send it.

The SGB would have told them if your pain was sympatheticly maintained pain. Request your doc do a tripple phase bone scan it may show nothing and that dosnt mean its not RSD but it may (65% show positive) show a pattern typical to RSD. Also get your doctor to list your signs he sees on file re; shiny legs, color changes etc for all involved body areas.

soft cyber hugs bud I know it can be very difficult, and teens and work, rough stuff my friend I admire you very much, I can't imagine having to deal with this when my kids were younger and work as well, get those kids helping more is all I can sugest there but raising many (mine and many street kids) teenagers it seems, I do understand your teenage delema sometimes they are on another planet lol, I'd also sugest a good talk with them again about your needs and exactly what you are expecting of them.

You have our ears and shoulders and hugs,

Sandra
