I am 28. On my birthday, I injured my knee. Finally after 5 docs one stated I am in the process of getting RSD. Is it a process? Can you catch it in time? I looked it up and am showing all the signs of it. He has me attending water therapy with him and I am not permitted to do exercises (that include my leg) for a couple of weeks, at least until he says so.

I have now had this pain and injury for 4 months. The accident happened Dec. 2. Is there a timeline?? What was your waiting period before finally being told you have it??

I am so confused. I would like to have caught it in time to be able to 1. not have it, or 2. to put it in remission.

But with my symptoms matching the list - does that mean I have it? My leg is colder, sharp shooting pain in knee, sensitive to touch (it hurts sometimes to have my pants rub against it), trouble walking, trouble sleeping, etc.

On top of that, I have been offsetting and now have achilles tendonitis in my left foot/heel. ugg

Fed up with the pain & Confused about the condition,
Christine

It's real nice to meet you. I don't know much about RSD, but a lot of people here do, and there is a forum here for that. I'd suggest posting your questions there. I just wanted to tell you hi and welcome you to NeuroTalk. I hope you like it here enough to stick around and join us. Good luck!
