Got a more specific dx of CRPS yesterday
I saw my pain doc and she said I probably have CRPS. It's been almost two years since my injury so she said there is very little hope of nerve blocks working. From what I've read, I agree. Since my injury was in the middle of me, it's affecting me from the pelvis down. My feet are the worst with both the neuropathy and allodynia.
I am not taking opiates because I smoke MMJ, plus when they gave me percocet in the hospital my body became addicted really quickly on a low dose. I do NOT want to go through that again. I am taking an anti-seizure drug, oxcarbazepine (gabapentin made me too stupid) as well as zoloft, wellbutrin, levothyroxine, magnesium, sometimes B12 and D. I see I should add C.
Doc spoke with me yesterday about a pain pump. I know there is a forum here I can ask people specifically about their pumps, but if anybody here has anything to add, please do so. She wants to put in Prialt. I also got a prescrip for PT.
Work is h*ll, and I know I need to take some time off. I have no idea what is going to become of me and my pain. I have been trying to pretend that I can still do things, and suffer because of it. I way overdid it this last weekend and suffered for it. And it's not like I overdid it for a normal person, I just pushed myself more then I should have. My body is just getting worse. I don't know what's going to happen. Thankfully I have my medical lawsuit from all this that will allow me to take some time off and not worry about an income.
