Are these usual RSD/CRPS symptons?
I was recently (April 8th) beside RSD/CRPS in my right hand/wrist/arm - as a result of tendentious. I have swelling/ a large amount of pain, discoloration, pain and headache. Did I mention one of the symptoms is pain. My doctor the wonderful man that he is... just blurted this out after seeing me for smaller quantity than five minutes. I left his office and I own done nothing but read web related sites on RSD/CRPS - A few things I am still enormously confused about are:
1. Do you have swelling 24 hours a afternoon or does it go away- I have notice with me -is that I might have swelling first entry in the morning - then on another light of day I might not-
2. I might wake up with twinge - then again it might start after I am up a few minutes- I have woke up where on earth I wanted to scream at times, afterwards a few times I have woke up thinking WOW - is this going to be a good day-
3. I might hold pain all afternoon - then again - if I am still and do nothing - it might not hurt-
4. Last weekend I have a headache that I thought I would die from - is headaches a part of this also-
Is adjectives this normal with RSD/CRPS - I enjoy also noticed that I am getting very moody and my thinking is not other very clear - I am not on any medication as of yet - I am seeing a doctor this Thursday for torment management - Also, on Friday and Saturday I called my doctor that diagnosed me for a prescription and I still hold not heard from him- I am in NY and the ER rooms are horiable- I would enjoy still been there waiting to see a doctor- and yes, I am looking for a different doctor as of Monday - this really turned me off-
If you own RSD/CRPS and can answer these questions based on your experience I would really appreciate this. Thanks contained by advance for any help.

Cleft Pallet (sorry for spelling)?
I hold a friend that has RSD. It occurred while surrounded by the Armed Forces jumping off a truck and landing wrong. There is never a time that he does not grain pain. It has times of remission but the misery is still there. When it flares up, whatever extremity get swollen and also will be a few degrees cooler than the rest of his body. When I met him, it was from his knees down. Now it affects his whole leg, his arm, his eyesight, he used to have better than 20/20 illusion. Now he wears glasses. They hold had him on so many drugs including morphine in need any help. We knew a woman who also have it. She was on prescribed heroin and that didn't help the distress either.The doctors don't give him drugs anymore because he drinks to the point of vacuum. And he has had, because of the combination of drugs and alcohol, 6 heart attacks. By the style, he is around 43 years old.
I hope for your sake you don't and the doctor mis-diagnosed it and you have something adjectives together different. I don't wish this disease on my worst enemy.
I have a sneaking suspicion that I own a bruised sternum?
I be diagnosed with CRPS after a car calamity. I have swelling in my arm and shoulder it is not constant but it be for about the first six months. It is still more often swollen consequently not.My pain also changes. I quality better when I go to physical therepy or use a TENS unit but this does not bear my pain away, just brings it down a bit. You necessitate to keep active within your effected limb, but if you push too rugged you will hurt yourself.
I began getting migraines and tension headache. I would recommend that you see a neurologist who might be able to help specifically beside this.
Good luck!
Hi,I am sorry that you have this pain,I would not even supply my worst enemy this life.I'm pretty current to this pain and where other relations,especially family and friends can't see it, so they don't even know.I'm into this 4yrs now and a Canadian and this item that I have Workers Comp.here in Canada own done nothing but fight next to me,because they don't think the initial injury would travel up my arm.I have what they bid Hand to Shoulder Syndrome.You'll get back to me latter if you would want to talk so I hope and will try to answer your questions,in recent times remember I have had this for 4yrs and living next to this pain has last a life time and wished it would stop.The with the sole purpose way know to live pain free will be the extremity of my being.I go through every time feeling alone.Now to you,
I've had swelling sometimes up to 3or4 days of doing squat,after being the person I am I love melt weather,so I can garden,just get out side,we bought a house on 2acers and have lots planned but there was a sunshine that my dreams disappeared,but i go out and do the best I can with what I get,that lasts for 2 days,so its 2days of fresh air and 3 days entertaining yourself next to reading,and stuff like that.One time my upper part of my arm,above the elbow go to 32inches.So swelling can vary,you also will have the different change of color and sometimes in different areas are cold to the touch,warm and hot but you still hold the burning pain.
I just re-read your 2nd ask,this condition when it is in my level,cause short memory loss,thats getting worse.
Yourself look up American RSD.com and also RSDHOPE.com.
I'm happy for your for believe me you don't want this as you will read.This condition is constant pain,it doesn't endow with you a night off consent to alone a day off thats why I bring 8 100mg morphine a day but also 30mg for inbettween my next 200mg.
I believe after you read those net sites you will be asking your doctor WHATS UP? My husband has done extensive research on this for we have be fighting Workers Comp for they don't believe my hand injury would hold anything to do with my arm,even after my pain specialist and a element of the board of the largest hospital in Winnipeg Manitoba told them what I had are still not doing anything but trying to discredit me.When you see the pictures you'll see one of a arm thats me.Rick,my husband and best friend said to look at it might be a Ganglion Cyst,for it can bring tendonitis.Get to a physio theropist before it does turn to RSD.Let me know how you are,stay in touch it make me feel better,being competent to help you.Depression is a horrible monster that you have to medicate,stay surrounded by bed for days,suicide thoughts.You know i have been checking out some support groups but this certainly made me feel usefull again,that I still have something,helping associates!

I have had RSDS for 15 years and what I own found through my experience and talking to my doctor is that there is no such point as normal when it comes to this disorder. Some people own pain and no other symptoms. some have skin that swells, some own skin that gets papery and splits at the slightest touch (mine). Not only does if affect different citizens in different ways but you may find the symptoms vary from time to time beside you. I already had migraines when I was injured and it turned into RSD but I own heard that some people do hold an increase in headaches.
Your dull pain management doctor will probably be taking over your treatment from now on so the problem near the other dr may not be an issue at all. If you have any doubts about your diagnosis, your pain doc will probably re evaluate you. Did your other doc do an EMG or any nerve blocks? The cramp doc might order one or both to be sure of the diagnosis.
Your pain clinic might require a few visit with a therapist that specializes contained by chronic pain patients, if he doesn't I would ask for a referral. half of the coming war is mental. Not that the pain is "in your head" but the right attitude can be paid any disorder tolerable. I have always be grateful that this was a requirement of my doc's pain clinic. Another point to think about is finding a chronic dull pain or RSD support group. If you are married I suggest having your husband go to your headache doc with you so he can understand what you're going through.
Feel free to email me if you enjoy any other questions or just have need of to talk.
