My pmdr said my feet dont have to swell. It just seems like everyone here has swelling when it spreads-is this true? Most of u know i have trouble with ortho believing RSD so how will ortho believe me if i dont have visable signs like swelling and mottled. momof4

It sounds like you need a more experienced Dr. in RSD to treat you. It would be difficult to have a Dr. who has problems believing in me having RSD. It's important to have an experienced Dr. who can recognize the variety of symptoms and the variety of treatments and adjustments in treatment that need to be made. Hope the best for you, loretta with soft hugs
