My father has now planned for us to go to INI hospital in Hannover where I undrwent my ACL rconstruction. They also have a team of neurologists who should be able to concluded what my issue is (hopefully  ) I just hope they will be able to rule in or out RSD. I will be travelling this Tuesday from Rome to Hannover which is going to be a huge challenge at this point.
As i will not acces to interet once im there, I really need to get as much feedback before i leave, in terms of how my pain in my lower leg compares/differs from other member etc.. At this point I feel that the only real answers I can get are from ture RSD patients who have been through the diagnosis stage...
Thanks,

Nigel, My wife read your story and she even thinks the bending-relief of the knee does not sound like RSD. However, she mentioned that perhaps the re-injuring of the knee area including surgery could have triggered RSD. Lets hope not. Do you have any relatives in the past with similar issues? Also, this may be a stretch or even to early to tell, does the weather cause you more pain? Such as approaching storms, the changing of barometric pressure?
