I just want to say thank you to everyone for the advice and support! I had my appointment today and did not get any answers. The neurologist i seen today (was told I had to see due to my symptoms) didnt believe it to be RSD because of the fact the I have symptoms to both sides, he said it would be uncommon...So he ordered lots of blood tests and had me schedule an EMG and referred me to a previous neurologist who was familiar with my history. He also stated before he left the room, that i was a difficult case and will pass his notes and thoughts to the other neurologist. My next appt is Oct. 8th......hoping that one will bring me answers and not brushed off again.

I have had no injuries, but i have had a handful of surgies. Brain surgery 2007(resulted with right side numbness head to toe) spine fusine 2008 (resulted with middle toes on left foot numb) are the most recent, prior to 2005 i had 2 other back surgies an some other minor ones. My symptoms started in 2007 prior to brain surgery. My feet and hands would swell, but not painful and would last 1-3 days and occur once a month to every other. The swelling continued while numbness to my right side was impoving very slowly, but has recently gotten worse.

I started a new job in may and have already quit due to extreme pain in my feet ( stood 7-9 hrs) and uncontrolable sweating, which brought on anxiety and discomfort. I would say that was when my symptoms of serious pain started, and has been increasing since. I have only been taking OTC meds, which do not help.

I hope I answered most of the questions and greatly appreciate everyones thoughts.
