Sorry I don't have any pics of them, but they are very large in size and some are small and when they finally do heal up after 2-4 months they leave scars like I seen in the pics. My left foot has just recently started acting up and now that I see the pics I am pretty sure that is what is going on with my foot up to my calf of my leg. No I haven't been to a doc for my foot for 2 reasons one I am scared to hear the news and two I have a lot of ugly sores and he tells me I can't let my nerves get that rattled it is not doing me any good. I know this of course but it is hard when you have the life I have. I know i should go and see him about my foot soon but like I said I am scared even though I have a feeling i already know what is going on. i don't want it to get to the point that I can't walk on it. I don't know if that is possible or not but my thinking with rsd anything can happen. Sorry that you are all suffering like me and i wish you guys the best. Take care.
Sincerely,

Hi Screwballpookie and all, I have the rash, dots, etc. I hate it too. The itching it bad- I have used women's personal creams and helps. My Dr. said I should never been in the sun without hi rated sun block. I know stress-anxiety doen't help us at all, my Dr. has me on Lorazepam 2 mg. 3 times a day. That helps me a lot to keep calmed down, which it quite difficult with our chronic pain and energy loss, lots of losses. Anyway, yes RSD in your feet can cause loss of walking and into the wheelchair. There are other experiences of others now in wheelchair. I have full body RSD, yes both feet.
My toes started curling, so my Dr. had me do exercises in the pool. It really didn't take many months for them to be touching the ground again. Before, I found this Dr.the RSD moved to my left hand and I didn't get my fingers back to rull range of motion, it's more like a claw. If I had gotten to therapy sooner, I know I could have gotten use of my fingers. I've had both shoulders frozen and got 95 percent use back-100 treatments. I've had this 12 years. Today for the first time I decided to call an attorney and apply for Socical Security Disability. Found out I don't qualify. Rats Hope your feet goes well and you can keep them moving. I read today from someone else, they try to walk a little every day that her pain level allows. She has both feet with the RSD.I think I'll start trying tomorrow. It's so easy to stop moving, I tend to do that when I'm really depressed. I'm on two different anti-depress, may ask my Dr. if he things I need to change. Do you go to the Dr. on a reg. basis, to monitor your RSD and meds. I go once a month sometimes every two months. Take care of yourselves, Loretta
