Default Hi Shannon,

Debby pretty much explained where I am at with mine now. If I let my hands swing as I walk though they get cold and pinkish red and swell.

I am having the same problems with my legs as you are. I get the electrical shocks and they are cold. No matter what I put on or cover up with my legs feel ice cold. I am having trouble wearing jeans now but also even some stretch pants.

My thought would be to find a Dr. that specializes in RSD or knows enough about it that they can say you have it. Also, you might ask your Drs. to have a block done on you. They do use them to help with the diagnoses of RSD and it might help put some of the pain into remission. I feel some of the best to deal with blocks are Anesteologist. I don't have much use for PM's even though some on here have good ones in their areas.

Good luck and welcome to the group. I hope you start getting some of the pain under control really soon.

Ada
