I'm wondering if anyone is having problems swallowing food due to the RSD spreading internally? I also have another sort of stupid question ( please forgive me). If a person receives spinal epidurals isn't that a risk of the RSD spreading to that area? As far as the swallowing issue, I have a very tough time swallowing food that is dry. Such as chicken or any other meat. It seems to get stuck right at the bottom of my throat and it doen't want to go any further, down or back up. Thank you
