In May I had a stress fracture to the 5th metatarsal of my right foot, and I am still having pain . An Orthopedic Surgeon diagnosed the pain as RSD- something with my nerves are overreacting to the trauma of the break. Has anyone ever experienced that? If so what was your outcome and how did they treat it? I am in Physical Therapy for it right now, but what happened to you all???

My little brother is in his junior year of high school, and was supposed to be starting wide reciever this year. He had letters as a freshman, but during his sophomore season he began getting a bad pain in his right side. He finished out the season playing less and less with each game. The doctors first said that it was an enlarged liver from when he took a hit to the side. He said the pain would go away within a few weeks. Well it didn’t. So we saw another doctor who diagnosed him with the side stitch. My brother performed the physical therapy and all of the techniques used, but still nothing helped. Since the end of last season (December 2007) he has been diagnosed with enlarged liver, stitches, gallbladder problems, twisted testicle, too much grease and weak abdomen muscles. He took a few months off, rested his side and eventually went back to spring ball where the pain instantly started again, worse than ever before. He has been through 2 acupunctures and still nothing. Deep tissue massages and nothing. He has had multiple X-Rays, an MRI, a Cat Scan, etc. This is very, very frustrating as he isn’t allowed to step onto a football field until he gets fixed. We’re losing optimism every passing day. Does anyone have ANY idea?
