Welcome Lisa, I am so glad that you found this forum, it has been a great source of support for me. It is a great place to ask questions about this disease and to learn about it. My advice would be the same, find a good doctor fast, one that you can develop a good rapport with. There are many treatment options available. I hope that you can tackle this beast early and find remission for your foot. Hopefully if the pain can be eased your gait will straighten out and help your sciatica. Glad to meet you, but sorry that it is through the commonality of RSD. Lisa
