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
