He gave me 3 shots in both feet and it really didnt do any good so he sent me to a neurologist who took test and said it was either RSD or Tarsal Tunnel.
Oh and possibly a stress fracture. Well he then sent me to an orthopedic surgeon and he finally said yes it is RSD and gave me steroids. He also gave me shots in the top of my foot and that didnt help. After that I went to pm and had 3 series of shots in my back that didnt help. Sorry to be long winded just want to explain what has happened to me.
Ok I would like to hear from the people , if you will, and tell me about the symptoms in your foot. This is what's going on with mine.
My second to will not touch the ground. It was mentioned that I have an uptake in that toe. Right above the toe u cannot touch it because it is too painful. The part that hurts all the time without touching it is the inside of my foot. Sometimes at night it twitches and the pain goes up in my legs and it is almost unbearable. My foot does swell anytime I am on it much. There is not discolor though. Most of the time it is cold to the touch but it feels like it is burning up. I so think it might be tarsal tunnel like the test suggested but I dont know. I am about to lose my mind. The only way to keep it out of pain is not to walk on it. When I do have to the pain is almost unbearable. Would someone please give me some insight to what they may think about this? Thanks so much for listening.
