Thanks again everyone. I just got back from a wedding tonight. I have been on my feet all day, literally. I think the neurontin must be doing something.

I have a question. If I'm on my feet a lot, and the "problem" area swells, does that mean I'm doing more damage?

BTW, my doctor advised not to read about RSD so much on the internet. I was very tearful in her office and afraid that that's what I had. There's still some uncertaintly in my mind, and we'll have to wait and see how these tests go. But I just wanted to say that I had myself worked up to a point of crying A LOT, even during the appointment, and I was also QUOTING HER from articles online , regarding needing a nerve block. I think that's why she said what she did about not spending so much time researching RSD online. I know what I said before implied differently.

I don't know if any of you are from Boston, but I'm seeing Dr. Oaklander at Mass General. I was lucky to get an appt. (again, crying to the scheduler), and my next one isn't until 9/17 although they assure me we'll be "in touch" after the testing is done in the next few weeks. The other neurologist I will probably see for a second opinion is Dr. Didier Cros. My foot/ankle ortho really like him and recommended him.

Thanks again. YOu all have been very welcoming and helpful. Good night -- I'm bushed -- and so are my feet!
