Hello, my name is richard and I was diagnosed south RDS in 1999. I remember all the bring test and millions of needles leading up to a very bad decision to receive a surgical lumbar sympathectomy. 3 years later I had an accident that left me needing a an ankle reconstruction.after that surgery things started getting worse.I now have the pain in my left leg along with constant swelling of that leg. Also I'm starting to have the same symptoms in both arms and hands.I have severe headaches all the time and most recently I've had unbearable lower back pain.none of the doctors I have seen seem to know much if anything about RSD. so far all they have done is throw pain polls at me and glare like tours all I came there for.its so frustrating I want to screemn can any one please help me try and figure out if any of these are connected or not and tell me what I should do. Thank you very much fruit your time.
