I had my left achilles tendon repaired and reattached 11/10/2008. 3 months later I was diagnosed with RSD. Long recovery to say the least. Currently my symptoms are mininal. However, I am going to have to have surgery on my right achilles tendon due to a large heel spur. I need some advice on ways to help prevent a recurrance of the RSD (it has already spread to the right foot after an injury last August). Thanks

 Hello,
RSD also now termed chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS) can be prevented by early mobilization (stroke patients) and in fracture or surgical repair patients - Vitamin C.
Studies have shown a reduction in the incidence of CRPS with Vit C doses ranging from 500 -1500mg per day.
Take care.
