He will come up and playfully bat at my leg sometimes, or rub his head against my leg wanting to be scratched. But he never touches my right leg...the leg with RSD. He will sniff the RSD leg up and down, then go over and give the left leg a big rub with his head.
My cocker spaniel sits on my CRPS foot lol....and walks across it.....and bangs it but then she is a bit dappy, bless her.

BUT....good point - interestingly, my dog and my parents' two dogs both show a particular interest in my CRPS leg at times, and will stop and sniff it up and down. Always makes me think of those dogs that can sniff out cancer. I wonder if there is something they can detect then? I feel another research opportunity for some inquisitive scientist out there. I hope they keep an eye on these boards....
