Hi SnowWhyte!

First off... you are NOT alone! Much of what you are saying I have said almost word for word many times.

I have had RSD for 7+ years... it began in my foot after a crush injury. What you are describing about the color changes and tourniquet feeling... I still experience those sensations today.

Here is the link to the Our Stories Thread: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread10725.html


It is a good thing that your RSD was caught early!!! If treated agressive, early enough there is a greater possibility of going into remission.

Please know... that NO two people with RSD have the exact same symptoms. Nor do the same medicines or treatments work for all of us.

Please read and ask questions!! It's the best way to learn about RSD. Also, you will be your own best advocate in your treatment!!! Take what you learn and discuss it with your doctor.

I truly wish you the best.

Abbie
