If you only have one symptom, how did you know it was rsd or were you lead down a path of many drs?

for my self i had a foot surgery i had a tumor in the joint of my big toe and a bunion which i didnt know my thought was i am 33 why do i have a bunion? but xrays showed it .
i had symptoms days after surgery air would hurt i couldnt walk on my foot for weeks it hurt so bad, at 6 weeks post op my foot was blue sweaty swollen, no one could touch it.. socks would feel like i was crushing my foot. my foot dr put alchol on my foot and then it went ice cold 20 degrees colder then the other foot and so did my leg. i had atrophy in my leg also. that is when my foot dr said i had rsd in my foot and leg
for me i was one of the lucky ones i was dx quick my foot doc said i was text book had all the symptoms discolor sweat swelling atrophy even black hair growing off my toes.. that was a big yucky for me , and pain alot of it.
hope that helps, take care michelle
