How would u know if u had Rsd in your back or if it was just muscle spasm from another injury... I had broken my patella on my left knee in 2005 and had 1 surgery with a bolt and screw and wires and the next was a bone graft in my patella because it wasn't healing.. Any how, now I have rsd in my right foot from a fracture but ever since braking my kneecap, my back pain has gotten extremly worse like 3 x worse where I hurt so bad I could throw UP??Thanks Lisa

No i have never had an injury to my back except for a car wreck but I have always had back pain. I just thought since I have had so much leg injuries and feet that maybe it settled in my left side since I was laid up so long with my foot propped up above my heart from my knee surgeries.. I had alot os swelling in the area.. I have times now where the only relief i do get is from walking laying down gets really uncomfortable after a while or sitting in a chair gets really incomfortable.. Thanks Lisa

I am working 12 hours still and at work now and my _______ Back is killing me and I can't hardly stand it>>I only have a pm doc now Who should I go to next for my cocktails? a neuro or a ??..My pm doc thinks I have spondiylasis in left hip and rsd in my right foot, so I am due for another injection in my left hip anytime now she will only do 1 every 3 months for that.. The sympathetic nerve blocks didn't help with the foot pain//

Sunshine,
I'd wonder more what does the pain "feel like".
Just pain doesn't make it RSD. Maybe you've gotten weaker back muscles from the bedrest?
RSD pain present in certain ways, and I'd think you need the neurologist to determine if it has indeed spread.

ASB,
Yes I definitely need to go to a neuro doc to get help, I have so many other bills it's kinda hard to see everybody at once.. A symphathetic nerve block in the hospital here is 1800 for the room and I think 1000 for the shot?? Something like that ISn't that crazy for the price????? Yes I do have insurance but first of the year makes a big difference and if My insurance will keep paying for these?? I think they balked this last time before they paid it>.. what I think maybe it started in my left hip then with the knee injury to my left kneecap and then when I fractured my right foot it went there.. IDK Maybe I am just talking bs?? alll I know is I hurt.. My back pain is I cannot get comfortable ever even taking pain pills and cymbalta no matter what position I am in it's always there.and seems to run down my left leg>> My foot hurts but I do get relief from it when I get off of it> Thanks sunshine
