I have RSD type 1, diagnosed in my left hand and fingers in March 1995. I severed my long and ring fingertips on November 19, 1994. I was a very early case and have had good pain control. Concerning if my foot is broken, I have read that casting should NOT be done, what is a safe way to allow the bone to heal? I fell through a step and my ankle twisted side-ways. It is relentless pain and swelling. I am not sure if there is a fracture or a bad sprain, and will be seeing dr tomorrow: I was wondering about what I should expect. What should I not allow, I learned very quickly ice and rsd sufferers do not mix well. I would appreciate any advice about how best to treat my injured foot. Thanks in advance. Here's hoping for pain-free night and a beautiful day tomorrow.
