I don't know. A family friend just asked me last night if I had RSD. She had read a story on Fox News about it, and wanted to know if that is that I had had. I told her that I had PN, but that I'd talk to my neurologist about it and see what he thought. I researched RSD last night and it doesn't sound like what I have. I relate to some of the symptoms, but not a lot of them. I did look at those pictures on the thread, though, and it is very different. My legs no longer turn red--they turn dark purple.
I don't have any problems in my hands... just in my feet.
I am still going to ask my neurologist, just in case. The website that I was reading last night listed some tests that are done to check for RSD and a few of them are tests I have already had for PN, so I would think that they would have caught it if I do indeed have RSD.I don't thnk I have enough of the symptoms fo have it.
