You are so right,
Soon after my injury I developed a redened hot RSD limb.. but I would say within a month my right ankle was cold and blue, RSD spread to both legs and they were ice cold.

After 14 lumbar sympathetic nerve blocks I was left with what my anesthesiologist called a virtual sympathectomy from too many blocks.. this created a temporary HOT RSD that has after 3-4 years reverted to as cold again sometimes as it was before the blocks.

My RSD spread full body and I can say that all areas cool and heat on their own particular whim which makes no sence (one arm warm, one cold,etc).
