Default I'm not sure I have RSD or a neuropathy

Hey Everyone,

Another new person here.

I've had a doctor suggest I might have RSD but another diagnosed me with a peripheral neuropathy. I'm not sure my symptoms have progressed enough to determine exactly what I have but I'd like to get some opinions here.

I injured my feet really bad almost 3 years ago. I damaged a bunch of tendons, ligaments and so on and my feet became arthritic. I lost a great deal of function as well. Not long afterwards I did have some burning pain but it was manageable and it was always worse at night. About six months ago the burning got really bad to the point I thought I was surely going to lose my mind. Since then my feet feel like their on fire. About two months ago some of my finger tips started feel numb and now my hands and arms feel weird, almost like after you hit your funny bone.

I was wondering if any of this sounds familiar. I'm 99% sure this evolved from my injuries and I have no reason to believe I would just develop PN out of the blue. I've been sort of in denial about things but I need to take some measures to get some help and I'm hoping I can at least get some feedback here.

Thanks for listening
