Hi, this is my first time here and I am trying to learn about RSD.  I have not been officially diagnosed with it as yet, but had gone for a bone scan about three weeks ago and just got the results back which say that my symptoms are correlated with RSD so I now have to go back to my orthopedic surgeon I guess t ohave it confirmed, who knows!       To tell you my story, I fractured two bones in my left foot on March 7th of this year, was in a boot cast for eight weeks, and swelling has never gone down, it is still swollen to this day, and is also fairly painful.       I would be interested in knowing what symptoms others have had and how it lead to their diagnosis, because as I said, I am very new to all of this and am just learning what it is all about.     Thanks!  |

 Hi 
Karen, 
I have been 
away from puter for several days. Did anyone answer your 
email? 
I can tell 
you that everyone has different symptoms, some have the same. Diagnosis in most 
cases is extremely difficult especially if you have a doctor who is not versed 
in RSD. 
You are 
going through the right steps so far. Being as RSD is a clinical diagnosis, 
ruling out other possibilities is the first step doctors take. Unfortunately, 
this leads to late diagnosis. Please feel free to email me at [email protected]  or on the site 
here. 
I and the 
others here will assist you as much as we can. 
RSD 
friends
