Blood clots in the limbs typically happen due to compromised blood circulation. So, rsd and blood clots would indeed go hand in hand for some. I think some are more at risk than others, such as people who have a history of family members with blood clots and those rsd'ers who can't move around, ie in a wheelchair and/or bedridden are at higher risk for blood clots. This is only based on what I have observed and pieced together over the past 7 yrs with rsd and my knowledge of anatomy.

I have researched and there is nothing out there on blood clots causing rsd....guess no one has gotten around to the obvious yet. LOL The only thing I have found referencing both is ruling out blood clots when it comes to a swollen body part and some medications that may cause blood clots.
