They go away when the flare eases up, but I was wondering if anyone else experiences these lumps. They are like dime sized when no color to them. They just swell up under my skin when my leg is flaring. I found one on my left foot when I had the last flare, about 2 weeks ago. They are starting to flare now because my nephew was born 10 weeks early and is fighting for his little life. The stress is starting to get to me and I am trying really hard not worry, but it's hard.
I would appreciate it if anyone who has similar "lumpy" symptoms to tell as I haven't found a thread on this board that addresses this and my neurologist is baffled by them also.
Thanks, Cindi

Hi Cindi,
I'm so sorry you are having these lumps. I can understand with you nephew in a critical state, why you would be affected. I hope he pulls thru.
I get the lumps too. I believe they are lymph glands swollen because of stress, rsd flare etc. I've told my RSD neurologist about them and showed him different parts of body swollen, hard and painful and he agreed the areas are where lymph glands are. I have had them massaged by a therapist. I've had them in groin, both sides, arm pit, neck -near the ear lobe, face, They are painful to massage-hard.
That is what I have come up with, Dr. agrees where I showed him are lymph gland areas.
There is a good rsd site: rsdrx.com by Dr. Hooshmand-retired. But you might get some information there.
Take care, and I'm so sorry you are having these symptoms too Lymph glands are throughout our entire body-Let me know what you think of this
diagnosis? Your friend and soft hugs, loretta
