Hi Richard!
I am one month into my diagnosis. It started in my left foot/ankle after surgery. My foot/calf turns bright red/mottled only when I stand. I have the tingling/pain/edema/electric shock sensations all the time in that foot as well. Over the past two weeks, I have noticed that my opposite foot also gets red (again, only when I stand up), although after a few moments the left foot is clearly more red than the right one (and further up my calf). I have noticed that when I push on it, it does turn white and stays that way for 10-15 seconds. I don't know if the RSD is trying to spread to the other foot (I have no other symptoms in the right foot yet.....only the left) but I wanted to respond to your question about it turning white. I'm glad we have this forum to ask questions and seek answers from other people that are living through it. Best wishes to you!
