Hello,

My nephew was diagnosed with RSD in June. He has primarily left foot and leg leg pain, but now it has spread to the right side.

We would love any advice you can offer!

We have tried the following with some success (any advice here is helpful):
- physical therapy
- swimming in heated pools
- light therapy
- foot baths (warm water)
- electrical stimulation machine at home
- accupuncture (just a few times)

What suggestions do you have for the following that we'd like to learn more about:
- nutrition (supplements and vitamins? fish oil?)
- diet
- blood testing or other testing - are we missing anything?
- serotonin or other chemical imbalances that may effect how a body handles pain?

(PS - We are in the San Francisco Bay Area, so any support groups or other families willing to share stories would be great to hear about! )

Any help would be great. Many Thanks and Happy New Year to All,
Sue
