RSD has several symptoms some of which not all patients will endure.
One of the classic signs of RSD is a constant, burning pain. The pain
may also at times may be exaggerated by any slight touch or even a breeze
passing over the affected area. This is called allodynia. Another symptom
of RSD is spasms in the blood vessels of the skin and muscles of the
affected area. This can result in the affected area feeling cold to
the touch. Muscle spasms will result in tremors. The affected area may
swell, become easily bruised, and turn a shade of purplish, bluish,
reddish or be a combination of the three. The color may also be more
pale. This coloring of the affected area is called molting.
One other symptom of RSD is insomnia and emotional disturbance. What needs to
be understood is that the problems with a sufferers emotions do not result in
the RSD. A sufferers RSD may result in emotional problems. This is because the
same system that is causing the pain signal is also responsible for the moods
of the person. The fact that there is a disturbance in this system will cause
problems such as insomnia, depression, anxiety, agitation, and disturbance of
judgment.
