What 8 symptoms?

[HubbyWithRSD]

Yeah really InHisHands...I hear ya there

This is definately different from the first time my husband had RSD - His leg symptoms are different then what we're now experiencing with his arm...

He did have light muscle spasms in his leg - now the ones in his arm are rolling and can really be seen better. His arms sweats out of control - Where I dont recall his leg ever doing that...There definately was a temp change in his leg and for sure with his arm. His leg turned purple/black/burgandy where his arm has just light spots...I believe it's because of the area of the RSD - And possibly something has to do with the blood flow too. I wonder often times how the vibrations that caused the nerve damage in his arms to begin with plays a roll in the RSD setting into his arms as well....

So any ways....8 definate standard symptoms for everyone - Yeah Right!!!

I was actually serious! I can't see how any one person could have eight... What are these eight???

I'm trying to think... symptoms I have: swelling, pain, discoloration, temp. changes and allodynia. And muscle spasms too...

Well, 6 is a lot anyways.
