I had quite a bit of bone loss in my left foot due to RSD. X-rays of both feet showed the left metatarsals were about ½ the size of the ones in my right foot. Because of this, they no longer “snugly fit together” like a well-functioning component, but simply totally separate pieces kind of floating around. Every movement caused them to move about, bang together, poke from the inside, you name it. (I had a phrase I’d use: “Every step is an adventure.”) I had surgery in 2000 to screw them all back together in to one solid mass. The foot is a different shape, now – shorter and higher – but the pain has gone down about 75%. It’s still tender to walk on, but much more usable.

I still am not sure if all the foot pain is from RSD or the skinny bones. Sort of a chicken-egg question, isn’t it? But, there definitely seems to be a relationship.

Hope you get your losses stopped.
