Hi, My name is Mary. My husband was dx with RSD/CRPS august 2009. He was waxy skin (although his color is "dusky" ), long, yellow curvy nails, long black hair on his arm, and edema in both legs. His RSD appeared after surgery, in his left arm, and it has moved into his chest and back and starting on the right side. We are currently trying to connect the edema to the RSD. We lnow it is connected, we just have to convince comp. Good luck to you!
