I am not sure if i'm in the right place or not.
I need some info for my dad.
He is soon to be 72 yrs old.
So i will just give the details and hopefully someone
can help me out!
He tells me he has a burning on his thighs.Like a really bad sunburn!
Only from the top of his knees to the top of his legs.
He doesn't have any problems from the knee down to the tops of the ankle though.
He cant stand for the bedsheets or his jeans to touch his thighs!
Also he had these same symptoms in his feet for about a yr prior.
2 of his toes on the one foot are bluish,hot to the touch and shiny!!
He doesn't have any problems from the knee down to the tops of the ankle though.
He has told me that he feels the pins and needles in his feet alot.
Also this is the weird thing.He said his feet hurt worse when he sits down
and puts them up while in his recliner.
He has been to see one neurologist so far.
I was quite upset.He told him there was nothing he could for him!!
Then i told him about what i knew of neuropathy and the meds they could give to help him...
So he asked his primary doc and then he prescribed neurontin.
My dad has heart trouble and has macular degeneration.So we have to be careful with what he takes.
Anyway,he has now gone off the neurontin due to side affects.
I have him talked into going to the cleveland clinic in the spring!
In the meantime i am doing some research to try and help move things along.
I am not sure if he had an injury before this all started or not.
I just thought i would send out this post and ask if it sounds like he could possibly have RSD?
