Hi Vrae, thanks for sharing your info!

So we are at :

Updated updated info :

Lower left : 14
Upper left : 2
Lower right : 5
Upper right : 3

So as of now, it's lower ahead of upper by 19 to 5, and left ahead of right by 16 to 8, and lower left ahead of everything else.

Hello all, its been a while since I've posted. Kinda gave up for a while. Anyway, my original injury was left foot, in the last year its spread to the left leg and right foot and leg like wildfire. Hope this helps your research. hugs to all

It started in my left wrist. Thankfully, no spread yet.

I wonder if there is another reason it seems the left foot is the predominate area? It would be interesting to find out what hand those injured use predominately (left handed--right handed) My wife broke her right wrist when she tripped and fell, extending her right arm to brake the fall. She's right handed. Of course every circumstance of an injury is different but statistically right handed-left handed may play a factor in how people move and protect themselves during an injury.

Very interesting observation. I am not sure why it seems the left foot seems to dominate the injury part. In my case I had no fall, no injury that I remember ( I don't drink) but I had three torn tendons. That and two cysts removed, did the left foot in. Maybe it is where you land and how you protect yourself. The condition is awful. ginnie

I have it in the right foot and leg.

In 2000 I went in for an angiogram, and after it was done they told me my arteries were clear.....see you in 15 years!! A week later I was back because they had blocked the artery with a closure device that was accidentally pushed into the artery. So they did a surgery to save the leg, which they did, but now RSD

I hate to hear when it is the fault of a surgeon why you have this RSD. Nothing makes me angrier or sadder. I hope you got some kind of compensations, as there sure is none of that with RSD. I wish this didn't happen to you. ginnie

Another Left foot, radiating pain, sweaty feet, swollen feet,10 degrees warmer than the right one.
My wife had her L5/S1 fusion, doctor tells her she will do fine and be able to dance. Unfortunately , 8 months of CRPS has been tough to go through, had 3 lumbar blocks, Gabapentin / lyrica/ or tramadol as needed. Physical aqua therapy,TENS unit , long days everyday, however still very painfull. Any suggestions welcome, Thanks to all.

Interesting statistics. RSD in the Left foot from a fall down the stairs 25 years ago

Now I have Myasthenia gravis and my whole left side is much weaker than the right. I think it is connected to the RSD.
