You're welcome, and thanks everyone for sharing :)

I'll keep it updated as more people join in. It does seem pretty strange how much it's in the left foot, doesn't it?!

That quote helped me smile today......and I needed it.

Thank you, Bram !

Any additions? We're currently at :



Where your RSD started:

Lower left : 19
Upper left : 4

Lower right : 6
Upper right : 4

So as of now, it's lower ahead of upper by 25 to 8, and left ahead of right by 23 to 10, and lower left ahead of everything else by quite a bit!

Right hand

I had RA also and Thoracic outlet syndrome. All operated on at one time.

My RSD started upper left side.

Considering left side issue. Has anyone asked who is left or right handed?
I am right handed and it started on my left side.

until you have a few thousand replies any figures are meaningless

I don't think it is completely meaningless - of course there are not enough participants to make any results statistically important, but we are nevertheless a community of CRPS sufferers who are only connected by having CRPS, not by having it in a particular area. Therefore our experiences can give a random cross-section of the wider CRPS community. No one is claiming this is a new breakthrough (yet!), just that it is interesting....

Personally I do think any result here IS skewed by the title of the thread (to those who have it in their feet - I think originally it also said left foot) - but that the left foot is coming through as SO much more common is a surprise.

And as someone once said, 'from little acorns grow mighty oaks' :winky:

Bram.

I am right handed, mine is on the left (arm)
