i was intersted in the content of one of the previous threads but did not want to post there ... way too much going on there .... but i would like to say that i get that rash on the upper chest and throat also. i would be interested in hearing how many others get that and if anyone had read anything on it or had a doctor tell them that it is rsd related.

Hi Joan,

If I was you, I would keep a open mind. Have you done a search with RSD Infection? Hugs, Roz

I"m not sure what you meant, but i do have an open mind, and do quite a bit of research on my own, but i just happened to notice that someone mentioned the rash that comes and goes and is only on the neck and upper chest.
so, i was just questioning if that peson knew what it was or if a doctor has clarified it to them. joan

Hi Joan,

I am thinking maybe infection could be the cause of my RSD even though nothing black and white shows up.

Although an injury is the usual trigger for RSD, infection, pressure on a nerve, heart attack, stroke or surgery may also be responsible.

I am also at the later stages so I am not ruleing it out as maybe infection coming up later either.

Hi Joan.

I think you were reading my post and I had pics of what my rash looked liike. I did see my doc and he said bc its only on where my RSD is, that its most likely a pain rash and it appeared bc i was over doing and the change of weather. It was andn is nasty when i get it. I have had it about 2-3 times and it gets worse each time. I foud that if I sit in the hot tub that it does it wonders, and also dont put anytihng on it.. everything that i did put on it, only made it more angier!! My doc said it just really had to run its course unless it looked infected if it opened up to any sores. soo!! Hope you are doing well.. !!

i also get that strange rashlike looking thing on my arms. the pain clinic told me it's all related to the rsd. when the pain gets worse, the rash seems to become more prominant. what they also said to me was something to the effect that the blood is rising up to under the skin????????? what do i know................i just got on what they tell me........................oooooonly sometimes LOL.
