My symptoms:

• muscle weakness in hamstring and calf
• extreme soreness lasting for 1 -2 weeks. If I would move too much, it would turn to burning pain.
• not always in constant pain. I would be pain free sometimes or less noticeable pain, but not for long.
• able to sleep (so far thankfully))
• able to wear clothes(though i don't wear tight jeans on my leg) and shower
• ice provides relief (But i stopped using it because of fear this is RSD)
• cannot walk or run.
• no swelling
• right leg is colder than left leg
• my right foot has tingling sensations (new symptom)
• calf had throbbing pain last week but never happened before- only when I attempt to exercise this

I'm seeing a neurologist and an orthopedic to possibly confirm diagnosis or find out if it's something else.

I know everyone is different, but most people on here describe being in severe pain and not being able to wear clothes sometimes. Maybe i'm in the early stages.? I thought I may possibly have a muscle inflammatory disease, myofascia or myalgia or something like that.

I've never screamed in pain. I've experienced awful pain. I have cried sometimes but I'm not sure if this qualifies as RSD.

All i know is that NSAIDS never worked for my pain.

Have you guys experienced similar symptoms? I know you're not doctors but does this sound like RSD to you?
