I'm so sorry you're in such pain. I just got back from my pm dr earlier today for a med check and told him the pain in my body is still everywhere. I have had rsd for over two years and fibromyalgia for about six months. I also have to see a gastro dr because I have horrible pain in my stomach and will most likely need surgery to get my gallbladder out. My rsd has spread to all limbs and I showed my pm dr how swollen and red they are. I told him they hurt terribly. He said it's probably the rsd and fibro combined. But thinks the fibro is causing more widespread pain than the rsd, but their not sure. Then I was prescribed more pain killers for another month and was on my way. Next is the psychiatrist, then gastro specialist, than surgeon, then pain therapist, then dentist, then neurologist, then rhuematologist. The list goes on and on. This is my life and I hate it too. I hate the constant pain and the not knowing what's going to happen next. It sucks. RSD and Fibro suck. It hurts to move and without my pain and anti anxiety meds I wouldn't be able to get out of bed. I also get infections alot too. Right now I have a UTI and am taking more pills for that and then more pills for nausea from all the other pills I take. I need to get a bigger pill case because my pills don't fit in my old one anymore. I was feeling pretty depressed and in alot of pain on the way home.
I can't drive anymore so my husband drives me to all my dr appts. He saw how sad I was and surprised me by bringing me to my favorite store. The Clarks shoe store outlet. I was treated to two pairs of lovely shoes, (Not that I need them but I love them so much), and it just lifted my spirits. I'm so grateful for my husband and son and all of my loved ones and wonderful drs who help me to get through each painful day. And of course the wonderful people on this forum. And though it doesn't take away the pain, sometimes doing something you love helps makes you not think about it as much at least for a little while. I can't wait to wear my new pink loafers tomorrow. And my new fuzzy slippers tonight. I'll just be walking down the street and back (one of my daily exercises), but I don't care.And even though with each step I hurt, I will hurt in style with a smile on my face! Maybe you can find something you love to do that can help you smile through the pain too. I hope you feel better soon and am here if you need to vent. You're not alone. I've found so many people on this forum just like me and so will you. They are the best. I just focus on one day at a time. It's cliche, but it helps me get through the painful days along with my meds from my super drs, my loved ones, my friends on this forum (And of course my new pink shoes and fuzzy slippers!) Take good care. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
