Default Hi,

I would try the ER as Debbie said.

Also call the Drs. office tomorrow and tell them you can't wait 3 weeks. Maybe you could see the PA in the office if your PCP is not available.

You might try taking baths in epsoms salts and also sleep with a heating pad on the area in pain.

I started out with RSD in my right arm and hand due to TOS surgery and Rotator cuff surgery. I also have it in my right foot up to my hip.

I can't use hot water for my bath. It just makes my pain worse. My water has to be just warm.

My RSD made my depression much worse. I have had it all my life but when I got RSD the depression just went off of the charts. I have been in councelling to help me deal with the pain. I have been hypnotised, I also was taught meditation.

It sounds like the RSD is spreading. It does spread into injuries or surgery areas. If you have to have anymore surgeries ask for a block before you have it. Nowadays the hospitals are pretty well sat up for blocks before surgeries.

I know you had said you had some blocks, can you see about getting more?

Hope you start feeling better soon.

Ada
