Hi all! I know this subject has already been beat to death at various times,
but I'll ask anyway.
My RSD/CRPS introduced itself in a BIG way after surgery. I mean looking back I had EVERY classic symptom to the max. That's probably why I got a relatively
early diagnosis. 5 wks. didn't seem quick at the time for sure.
Many nerve blocks, P.T. and meds. later now the original wrist & hand are still contracted and about 30% movement but the swelling is gone and pain is managed because I only get break thru pains & burning.
NOW, the pain & redness is going to my foot & lower leg on
the same side. It has been very gradual and at first I was in denial that it
must be unrelated to CRPS/RSD.
NOW QUESTION: If this is spreading why would it be so gradual when the
original site was so sudden & dramatic? Is it because I already take mega
Vit. C & other meds?
I asked my P.M. Dr. & she says it's a possibility, but while I can still walk
she seems to still concentrate on my arm.

P.S. Bram hope you're hanging in there. I visualized your "druggie" impression
& hope you don't have to be that way for much longer.
If we were all in the medical profession I'd say we were cursed with this
monster to teach us compassion (I know it was a rhetorical question).
