Hi Jim, thanks for your interest and help again.

I kind of ruled out the OP causing RSD as i started to feel te painfull nerve symptoms 2 weeks beofre. I even remember icing my ankles and feet as they wer hot 2 weeks beofre the OP. Yes, the OP definetly made all my symptoms wore but dont think it was the initial cause.

Regaring relatives, cant think of any who suffer from something like I have been suffering from.

Not really sure about the weather at this point but the damp does 'bother' me. Things that aggrave are the following:

Stretching & Muscle tensing

Ice (prefer warmth over cold)

Lying

Walking

Any poition out of a seated position with my knees at 90 degrees comfortably

Car rides (althogh im sitting down, my knee is not relaxed at 90 dergrees relaxed. insted the position makes me feel like im stepping on a frying pan!)

Doctors manipulation (pain reaction the follwoing night)

There are others but those are the main ones...

I can describe my pain as though im stepping on a hot coin when moving (behind the knee) thats why I keep thinking there is a nerve trapped somwhere behind the knee..the mystery is that the docs cant seem to find it
