I'm sorry but RSD can definitely spread. Our daughter's started in one foot and is now in both feet. If your doctor is telling you that it cannot spread, you need a different doctor.

I'm so sorry about your pain and I hope you can get some help.

I have RDS in left lower leg, (stage 3) before being diagnosed in Nov. I had surgery on my left shoulder, now I have the same burning pain in my left shoulder. I know what it is. Dr's won't commit... because it's all workers comp. I am soooo sick of this. They are playing their games while I sit in pain. From what I understand and read RSD/CRPS spreads by either mirroring (i.e if you have it in the left ankle you can get it in the right ankle) or it will stay on the same side of the body, and jump around causes could be as slight as a bruise, or needle stick

Yes, it can spread. I agree with Faith Mom, if your doctor says it cant, you need to find a new doctor. You can even go online and look up information about RSD and print it out for him...plus it will help you to see for yourself as well and the things that can happen later. Mine started in my left ankle, now it is in the entire leg and my lower back. Juliea, I totally understand with the workmans comp because mine is too.
