My husband says i need new sneakers (i have 3 pair i have been trying-thanks to kids with same size shoe, but they still ache). Now i have been waking with burning on the top of one foot. I think im dreaming so i get up. It still burns. Happens a few more times at night. I still dont believe/trust myself. I cant tell my husband because i dont know if he can take it. Watching tv my foot began to burn-im awake for sure. My foot is not cold or purple(a little red). It can't be. I cry... Cry again. I go to pm dr. today. Has anyone had spreading? Did yours start like this?

I am very sorry for your suspected progression but I do feel your timing is right in that you will see you pm today.. your concerns are valid and ask away to your pm. I honestly have seen much progression with my RSD over the last 2 + years as you may be experiencing now. As yourself, when I detect another affected area, I always get scared and keep it to myself until I can share it with my husband and family.. I have had exactly what you describe in that my feet bother me too and walking intially after sitting can be difficult.. Try not to take this burden on personally.. share with your husband as it affects you both and your need the support.. he will handle things as they happen due to his love for you. This is a progressive illness...
At this time, Thanksgiving.. although we are battling such a monster, know that we do have much to be thankful for and relish in the fact that we are lucky for our support and love in our lives, which we need and depend on... and small steps.. as our illness is ours but what is in our hearts and minds remains the same..
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Keep smilin...
