Bloodwork can be done from your foot.... and it really
isn't all that bad, as long as u have someone who
KNOWS what they are doing. Make sure that u are not
going somewhere where its a 'newer' person that
doesn't have much experience in it.....

personally, i really would say to avoid bloodwork from
the effected areas if u can. Since u do still have
other options, i believe they are something that u
should consider. My thought is, everyone is always
saying how they don't really know much about RSD and
everything... but those of us who ARE effected w/ it
know 2 things for sure... the unpredictibility of it
and most importantly... THE PAIN!!! Don't put urself
thru any more pain then u have to!!!

Best of luck!!

Hi,
New year, new question: How essential is it to
avoid bloodwork on
the RSD limb? Will it aggravate the RSD? Seventeen
years ago half the
lymph nodes under my right arm were removed following
surgery for
breast cancer, and I was told to avoid blood work in
that arm because
of the risk of infection. Now the other arm is RSD
affected. I'm
running out of limbs. Has anyone dealt with this
situation? Is blood
work done on the legs?
