Hello All
I would like some info from the people who really know, those who have it. It has been suggested that I might have RSD. It all started with knee surgery, then a second surgery. After the second surgery PT suggested to the DX that they thought I might, then it seemed to go away. I would have flare ups every now and then. When I say flare up I mean the pain increases as does the swelling. Then about a month ago I had burning pain up the back of my leg. But after a few weeks it lessoned to just once in a while. I also have a knee that will not go straight and no one knows why. Sometimes my calf feels tight and stiff. I also get something that feels like electric shocks. I also have weakness in my thigh, can't lift my left knee like I can my right. My new DX said I might have RSD tend. What I would like to know is does it sound like I have it, after reading some other post I don't have it so bad.What I want to know is does it start out mild? Is there any way to find out for sure? I would like to also add my second surgery was 1/13/2010, and I'm stillnot back to normal. And if you look at X-rays of both knees my good knee looks as though it should be the bad one. Has new DX puzzled. ANY ANSWERS. Please Help
