I have my RSD not from an injury or accident and though less common to develop it like that it can happen. At first I did think I was injured because I was active pre all this. You stated you had basic bloodwork but what about extensive for auto immune conditions or other things like B levels?Before I got my dx I was also suggest Tarsal Tunnel and they even talked about doing that surgery. I am so glad I did not cause it would of made things even worse then the current and even if you have TTS it is one of the last things you want to do. Are you on any meds? I hope you get some answers and relief.

In the past couple years I havent had many maladies. No colds or flu. I did have some stiffness in my legs but i was playing ALOT of volleyball and it didnt seem unusual or painful. I fractured my pinky in the summer, and fell on my back last year barely missing my spine (landed a couple inches to the right, middle of the back). I have had some muscle twitching in the past year but i attributed it to so much activity.
I need to check the blood work again, I do believe they checked one B level and 3 other things, i'd like to get a more comprehensive test but doctor doesnt think it is needed yet...
Im pretty sure its not TTS since I sometimes have pain high up in the leg and pins/needles in the other foot as well.
RSD sounds pretty bad, I sure hope its not that, so sorry for your pain too. Its so easy to take your health for granted until something like this happens. I read up on RSD and so far do not have any of the symptoms except the pins/needles/light burning/some zapping. Im currently taking Gabapentin for the pain, which helps but not 100%.
Thanks so much for the feedback, I hope we all feel better.
