If this has been going on for 2 yrs then some of the symptoms that
Ali posted you may have already had & not have anymroe. Especially after the LSB's it sounds like you may have had??? Or were they epidurals?? You need to know what type you had in your back.
I was told I had neuroma's & they caused the burning pain I had. I let the posiatrist take 2 out of my left foot. BIG BIG BIG mistake as the pain intensified. He told me that might happen but not that it would go into RSD nor that it might be RSD from the get go. I have this pain in both feet since 2003. They will burn even if cold. Turn bright red around the bottoms & up into my toes. Even the nail bed under the nails turns bight red. They also hurt like crazy walking on them. Like I walk on bruises, altho some that could be Fibromyalgia. Before RSD I was DX'ed with Fibro in 1989 & they would feel like bruises to walk on at times. Anyway I do get shooting pains & they cramp, the toes. I get sharp pains even when sitting anywhere in my feet. Plus they also feel like they are dead weight, like when your jaw is numb from novacaine. They feel numb like tthat but at the same time HURT &/or BURN also. I had to give up work due to sleeping all the time & dealing with the pain. I am high doses of Morphine & other meds too & the pain will still come thru it. This year has been a bad year for me so far as pain is concerned. Seems it was better controlled last year than this year. But I am on the same meds that I was on back in 2004. My ankles also ache alot. I have had some symptoms in my hands & have SGB's for them. I am going to have to go there again I think too. LSB"s don't help all that much anymore. Altho they were not helpful at the beginning either.
Back to not having some of the symptoms anymore, some of the treatments especially LSB's or SGB's will put some of the symptoms to rest while not helping others at all. And yes I still get burning pain. I don't get swelling all that much anymore. For example: I went from size 10 Med width to size 11 Wide width shoes. Now I don't need wide width anymore nor size 11 in say hmmmm sandels.
I only see a pain mangement doctor now.
