Yup....that's a good possibility. I believe my rsd started when my knee was fractured....the handle that said hello to my knee hit it on the side. The spot right beside the kneecap just below your knee bone. Hope you get where I'm talking about. RSD is a result at times of nerve damage. It doesn't mean the nerve has to stay damaged, but certainly has an impact.

I know plenty of people I've talked to over the years that have stiffness like most of us and have no problems with rom in any of the affected parts. They may have at one time but pt "fixed" that. LOL That's pretty much how it was with me. I couldn't use my left leg at all. Pt, specifically pool therapy got me walking on my own 2 feet again with just as much rom as I had before my knee was fractured.

Hugs,
