hi there,  I too have rsd in my legs only now, thanks to my great doctor who started ECT about a year ago.  I actually had it in all four limbs, feet, ankles.......
  
 It was getting to the point that I could no longer manage a few stairs, or somedays not even leave bed.  I got very depressed,, so the doctor decided to try Cymbalta.  Oh what a mess that was. If you are bipolar, do not use Cymbalta.  I was in the hospital 3 weeks.  Not good.
  
 To see me now you could never tell I had RSD unless you spoke to me.  I am able to ride my bike, lift weights, go fishing, things I thought were gone for sure.  I still take meds, but not like I was, 31 pills a day.
  
 Good things do happen to people, yet some people won't take the step to get there.
 Best wishes,  Sylvia
