Without a doubt, I know the one greatest thing you can do is take a lot of viatmin C. Off the top of my head I forget what the recommended dose is to prevent it following an accident but if you search this forum or look for Dr. Hooshmond's RSD triangle with a google search, you should be able to find it.
Other then that, obviously get as much rest as possibly, accept help where offered, don't push yourself and stay as stress free as you can (that includes not stressing that you're going to get a flare up!!). Focus on the beauty of spring or whatever else brings you happiness or an upcoming event everytime you feel the pain coming on.
I'm sure others will have advice.
Best wishes, my thoughts will be with you.

I am hoping that this is not going to restart my rsd; has been pretty manageable. Anywho, any ideas of how to curb possible flare up and anyone know what to look for on the foot to know if should be concerned? Thanks for your time. God Bless. Suz66 =)
