Thanks, but no, there was no skin breakage, and the biting was done over a covered pant leg. So I'm thinking there isn't infection, which I would prefer having actually, instead a spreading of the pain... |

(reflex sympathetic dystrophy) The type of injury you had, and the spreading occurance of pain suggests this might be an issue for you. RSD is also a neuropathy, and has some interventions which when done early in the symptoms, may reverse. It is a sympathetic nerve disorder, and may respond to calcium channel blockers when it first appears. Quote:
RSD often is not easily or quickly diagnosed. But it tends to spread and may even become full body in some patients. I think for some patients, RSD is something to look into.

I have rsd and pn so I agree with Mrs D you may want to check out over there. The burning and spread are symptoms of rsd. It could not be but something to investigate. I know for me with inner ankle/foot/calf pain I often feel sore latley in other part of my legs. I am not sure if it is cause I compensate and walk odd when my major areas hurt extra or if it is a spread. Feel better

I also have knee pain, and I believe it is directly related to PN. I have knee pain all around the knee caps, especially after sitting for more than an hour. Excercise helps. I never have injured my knees, so this is why I believe it is related to PN. My PN started it my feet, first with numbness and has worked up to the knee area.
