Now ive got it in both hips,,its heart wrenching not being able to play anymore,but that is Gods will for now and i must accept this. Any way about the sweating, when i played ball or was working construction,I sweated alot, but there wasnt any smell,just sweat,,Now with RSD stinch underarm comes with the sweat,and as others have commented,Its ussually when im really worried[then i sweat like a pig and fast,it immediate] and its also a precursor to a bad flare,,,,I do know that rsd does effect the vasamotors[sweating]and submotor[circulation]. Oh by the way , I do have RSD 2[causalgia-nerve entrapment] which makes everything with me excell with the disease. And I have ruled out that it was the pain meds,,i like others,switched them around and nothing help, but my most incriminating evidence that it is the rsd,,is Ive on 4 occasions have gone completly[like now] off all meds,,not even a asprin,,and I sweat just the same,,,,,,,,,much luck and hope ,peace to you all,,,,,,,,,,,,,bobber
