My foot turned a deep red while i was in there and she seemed torn over rsd and leaned more towards sapheanous sp? nerve injury from surgery. After reading everything about rsd and the swelling that stops abrubtly, im pretty sure rsd is the culprit, but of course im no dr, so who knows. She did prescribe me lyrica and she is looking to get me an mri and a tens unit for the pain.
Can rsd be diagnosed if you dont have the hypersensitivity to clothing or air blowing on your skin? I have the pain when she touched, moved, and examined, but she was unsure about the rsd..
well, at least with the nerve pain meds I know i am on the right track. .. Even if it turns out i get the dx rsd a little later than expected.

Any thoughts?
Thanks much
