Hi Nikki,
My daughter is 16 years old and has had RSD for many years. It started in her left ankle and did spread to other parts of her body. But, you need to go and see your doctor to get a diagnosis. Have your parents make an appointment. Make sure it isn't something else. And if by chance it is RSD, then you need to get back into PT to stop this in its tracks. I am so sorry you are in this kind of pain. I know first hand as a parent what you are going through. Good luck and get yourself checked out.
Sandy

For another year i had re-occuring pain in my left foot and leg and swelling every day. But, the pain started going away finally after a year from being diagnossed. But, for the past year I've been having extreme pain in the top of my left back and shoulder, and it just keeps getting worse, do you think this could be the RSD spreading, or something else?
Also, I have extreme fatigue and pain in all my limbs do you think that is from RSD too?
