I remember seeing someplace that people with RSD/CRPS should not be placed on steroids for things like itching.

Does anyone have any information on this?? I would greatly appericate any links or help on this as his dermotoligist wants to try steroids for the swelling/itching/blisters.

The severe swelling/redness/itching in upper body and the massive blisters on the foot that developed in November showed a major improvement after a lumbar block. However, it seems that attempting to walk on his feet increases the swelling/redness/itching on upper body and legs. He has RSD/CRPS in R - knee, both feet and it looks like it is spreading to his upper body (RSD/CRPS since 3/2006).

Thanks to all the members for your help and support. This is one awful disorder and I pray each day for relief for all who have this.
Respectfully,
