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

I also had back pain, and I just knew it was from the rsd. My pm dr, who is also a spine spec. insisted that it couldn't be rsd spreading, and ordered an MRI. It came back clean for lower back. So he said that he agreed, that it was the rsd. Now I'm on Opana ER, and my pain is almost totally gone, back, legs, feet, shoulder, Actually, I guess the pain is still there, I just don't feel it anymore.
I'm sure if I went off the meds that I would feel it.

Hugs
Mary

Have you had an MRI? Maybe you've got disc issues - the leg pain could be from sciatica.
