I'm sorry you have this on top of your rsd. I would tell the podiatrist obviously about you rsd and bring literature on it in case he doesn't know what it is when he needs to fix your problem. I would also tell him about possible spread and maybe see if you pm dr or neurologist can help with this situation before it's fixed. I hope you feel better soon and he can get rid of you ingrown toenail without adding problems to your rsd. My thoughts are with you.

Hi again chaos, I just wanted to say too that you may want to get that taken care of soon so it doesn't get infected. That may aggravate your rsd. Just stubbing my toe causes rsd flares anymore. I'm not a dr and it's JMO, but I'm concerned for you and want to you to feel better. Take care.

Ouch chaos, ingrown nails are horrible at the best of times - I hope this settles down for you and doesn't get too nasty...

I would see a podiatrist ASAP - try to get a recommendation if you know anyone who's seen one - but don't even take your shoe off until you've explained about the CRPS to them! Make sure they agree to ask before they even touch your foot, and that they need to explain what they are going to do before coming anywhere near you. Take the good old CRPS fact sheet too, and ask them if they might have time to look at it before they see you again .

Take the vitamin C daily as well as a spread prevention tactic, although hopefully this can be resolved without it starting the symptoms up there too.

Reall good luck and I hope it eases soon.

Bram.
