First of all welcome to the forum - If I can help you in any way please just let me know!!

I'm so sorry to hear that you too may be suffering from RSD. Some of the symptoms you are experiencing could be RSD - the main symptoms of RSD are:

1. Burning, Shooting, Tingling, Cramping pains (although the main sort of pain is burning)
2. Allodynia (this is where the slightest touch causes extreme pain)
3. Swelling
4. Colour changes (the affected limb may go blue, red, purple etc etc)
5. Temperature changes (the affected limb may be hotter or colder than the other limb)
5. Muscle spasms or tremors
6. Hair and nail changes

Unfortunately there is no test to confirm the diagnosis of RSD or rule out the diagnosis - I was diagnosed based on symptoms, although I did have MRI scans, X-Rays, Blood Tests etc.

I was diagnosed with RSD by a Pain Management Doctor although an Orthopaedic Doctor told me that he suspected that I had RSD.

If you suspect that you have RSD please DON'T use ice!!

If you need any more information please don't hesitate to ask
Keep us updated when you can
