My foot with RSD goes pretty numb on and off all the time. It is really annoying as when it is really bad, I can't walk or move it. It's strange as even though it is often numb, I still have excrutiating pain in it.

We spoke to my Doctors about it and he said that it was a common symptom of RSD unfortunately and that there isn't much you can do about it other than to try and move your affected limbs as much as possible.

My BP is always either too high or too low according to my doctor - it is never in the 'normal' range. It gets really bad sometimes that I actually feel as though I am going to collapse. I always have to be careful when getting out of the bath tub or standing up etc and go really slowly otherwise I get really dizzy.

I'd speak to your doctor if I was you and rule all other possibilities out. Don't just put everything down to RSD all the time - especially if you have a new symptom that you have never had before.

I hope you start feeling better soon and you're in my thoughts and prayers!!
