No you don't. My wife who has RSD now for 10 years has had bouts with swelling but not on the scale I've seen others have. Both her calves swelled somewhat about 4-5 years ago, was prescribed a steroid and never had issues like that ever sense. Her initial injured arm has been in a brace for 10 years is the total opposite of swelling, its atrophied.
