Just wanted to update all on my drs visit. I went to see my new treating dr and he said that he believes I have rsd and he is referring me to a new ortho and a pain mgmt dr to get my pain under control. He also took xrays and showed me that my patella on my rsd knee was rubbing bones with my leg. He said it was a mechanical issue as well as the rsd and he said that my right knee is way out of alignment. So thats no good, i thought I was only having nerve pain issues, not actual mechanical issues with my left after surgery. I asked him about the nerve irritation dx that the physical medicine dr gave me and he said that discoloration isnt normal with an irritation only with rsd. So now Im set for an emg on wed, yuck, two new drs ,a bone scan, and whatever else they figure out along the way.
