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
Dori
