I am sorry but can relate as I am having some severe nail and sores around my toes issue and now have to go to podiatrist and am scared because I don't allow anyone to even touch me. I am hoping for an oral med if it is infection etc.
I agree about finding a doctor who knows a lot about RSD. Also what is suggested in terms of treatment to weigh the pros and cons and don't allow yourself to be pushed into something that does not feel right so to speak.
On a side note I think my issues are from my swelling and then my feet are rubbing in my shoes cause toe and nail problems so I was wondering if you may have similar so that in the future prevention so to speak.
Hope you feel better
