Default RSD and Showering!!!

Hey All:

Since my RSD spread to my left foot and leg I have been getting sever flare-ups everyday that feel like "battery acid" under my skin. It happens when I take a shower in the morning. The water has to be luke warm, but to my legs it feel like fire. Every drop of water is a "Nightmare". When I get out it continues to burn, I cry, meds don't work, yada yada yada.

So, then I either cover my legs in Lidoderm Patches (I am 6 feet tall so you can imagine how many patches. It's expensive!) or I use topical cream and wait about an hour to an hour and a half for the flare-up to calm dowm.

It happens everyday. Does anyone else have this problem? Or, similar? I can't do anything but cry and get through it.

Thanks,
Heather
