I got RSD in Nov. 06 and my pain management doctor just began treating specifically for RSD about 2 weeks ago. I've recently noticed whenever I'm around a lot of noise and commotion, my pain level goes up and so does the swelling and discoloration. Is that normal with RSD? I've also noticed my vision seems to get blurrier right before I have an increase in pain and swelling and I'm not sure if that is RSD related. Oh, I'm taking amytriptiline and neurotin, but I had the samethings going on before I was on any medication.
I also want to thank you for this group. Though I've never posted anything before, I've been reading all of your post for awhile and there's some comfort in knowing I'm not alone with this strange disorder.
