I have internal RSD and about 70lkbs of swelling on the right side of my abdomen. When this first started a doctor thought i was having an allergic reaction to injections i had after gallbladder surgery. So it worked to take off 30lbs of swelling when it first happened...but then it stopped working and the swelling is kept at 70lbs now. if i go off the prednisone, i swell more. none of this makes sense because usually prednisone buts weight on people.

Does anyone take prednisone for swelling? I also take lasix now and then but it doesnt really work because im not swollen anywhere except my abdomen.

Just recently i had an injury on my forearm. Now its in pain and swelling...it wont go down and its hot to th touch and it feels a little burning on the outside..is it RSD ? I havent seen it on any limbs so im not sure what to think? It sure looks weird and feels real strange!

Thank you kindly
Lori
