is this rsd pain?
 

I have severe pain on the sole of one foot and other classic signs of rsd (sweating, hair growth near trauma, pain that feels like I'm standing on hot coals, etc). I think it is classic rsd pain. But my question is when I push on it the pain become severe. Is this pushing and causing the pain also a sign of rsd or does the pushing (more than touching) then pain, not occur typically?
Thanks
Noah

:Noah,
How you been?
Apparently not as well as we'd all wish...

But, my answer, and i'm not a doctor! would be a "general yes".
Not as opposed to Colonel No,:) but, ya know, it's a tough question.

Like "when I touch this, it hurts more doc."
"Don't touch it"!
:rolleyes:
I'm not trying to be a wise guy. You're really proposing a difficult question.
RSD pain at rest is one thing, then, when it's "stressed" it of course gets worse.
So, perhaps, I'm misunderstanding the question?:confused:

If it hurts at rest, most rsd pain hurts worse, when pushed, or touched. Generally. "Colonel". :mad:


I'd watch for the spread to the opposite foot, "Mirroring", and ask your doctor about it more..... and what to do to prevent that. :hug:

Noah-This is exactly how my RSD started. Now have pain-sensitivity -numbness from knee down and in groin.I had no injury that I can remember-Did you have an injury?

There is also the possibility of a plantars wart on the bottom of your foot and is very common and painful.
