Hi jennq, welcome to this forum. You should find that this is a great resource and place for incredible support. So sorry to hear what you are going through with your foot. If your dr is certain that you have RSD, then you guys really need to get working on a treatment plan for it so it doesn't progress. As I am sure you read, early treatment is key!

Your medication could be masking some of the pain. Pain would generally increase as time goes on and you go untreated. Everyone is different in the symptoms they have. For example, I do not have as much discoloring of the skin as others do, maybe it is because some of the treatments I have had - who knows. But I have had it for 20 years now in my face, I developed it in my right hand from a simple accident (twisted it moving a big gas grill) in 2009. Aside from my face, it is now in both hands, left arm, left leg...right leg is questionable.

Not sure if I helped at all, but hopefully others will chime in soon to assist!
Wishing you the best -
Nanc
