Default Hello I'm new

I was diagnosed with RSD 2 months ago. I had a crush injury to my wrist and have had pain ever since. Back in Dec I stared having numbness in my legs and pain on the bottom of my feet (sporadic). I started getting migraines 2/3 weeks ago (my hair hurts afterwards).

I have moved recently and my primary is doubting my diagnosis. Can anyone please tell me if this is normal to RSD? I have no medical history of migraines (family members do however) and no other medical issues (except left knee injury).

At one time of my rsd I was having migraines and severe head pressure and pain. I get them a little today. I had another brain mri at that time but I think mine is from my severe eye pain. Are you seeing a pain doctor? Have you had an mri? Are you on any new meds?I am sorry about your gp. I have seen 3 gp since my rsd over 3 years and all have been clueless about this condition. Welcome to the boards it is a very supportive group

Welcome, Triplet3!!....you certainly came to the right place. This board has wonderful people as members. I was diagnosed 3 years ago next month. I acquired it after a nasty bout with an internal MRSA infection. I don't get migraines, but I do get more headaches than I used to, especially right before a flare. I hope you get some answers from everyone here. I have said this time and time again, if I hadn't found this particular RSD forum, I would still be laying on my couch in a state of confusion. My neuro HATES that I talk to other people who have RSD because he says I will get "suggestive" symptoms. This couldn't be farther from the truth! When I started out on here I was soooo relieved to find that I wasn't crazy and that there are no two people with the exact same symptoms.

Once again welcome...welcome to our "family"

I am up early this morning reading your post..while I suffer with an RSD/migraine headache..which I get often..Oh yes..these headaches are very common with RSD sufferers..I find fast and strong caffine helps with the pain... migraine medicine ad coffee.. no doubt these headaches are associated with a flare.... PLEASE find a supportive RSD knowledgable Dr., (pain management or nuero.) don't waste your time with a Dr. who questions your troubles... and don't stop there..Educate yourself thru him and here on our forum.. RSD is an ugly animal . I have had RSD for 4 years and have learned a great wealth of information...You have much hope as it is early in your diagnosis and remission may be possible.. so please do your homework today..In the mean time, we are here for you..any questions or concerns..please lean on us as we can relate to all the you are experiencing....

Soft hugz,

Kathy
