Hi Deb, So sorry you have RSD. You've come to the right place for fellow friends with RSD that are willing to answer questions and give support. Most of us had never heard of RSD and misdiagnosed and didn't get any treatment till a long time. It looks like your original injurty site is your right foot? RSD can spread rather quickly. You have a very good chance of full remission with the first year. Lumbar Block done by an anethesiologist.
Do you have a RSD Neurologist specialist? Orthopedic? I've never had the blocks, because it was too late. Because your injury is lower body, they inject in the lower spine.
Some have several, and hopefull it stops the pain signals for continuing to go to the brain.
Read all you can, have an experienced RSD Doc. Was it work related? There really isn't a cure for rsd, hope of remission and management of meds and exercise to keep the limbs from freezing up and becoming disabled. Are able to walk on your feet? stretch? epson salt bathing helps. Swimming in 86 Degree water helps a lot. I have full body RSD 12 years. Just ask questions of any of us. Hope for the best? Loretta
