I guess what we ALL need to do all we can to get awareness out there!!
I still have to see my original Ortho. Dr. for all of my work & LTD forms
because he was the originating Dr.
He's young & looked like a "deer in headlights" when I came back several times after surgery with ALL the symptoms. Of course I had never heard of CRPS/RSD
at that time. He finally called in a consultant who Dx'd it.
Well, more than a yr. later he still comes into the exam room saying "wow, look
how much better you are!" (Think he's covering his @#*?)
Several nerve blocks & 60 P.T. visits later the swelling has stayed down & I've regained about 30% motion.
He looked at me like I was bonkers when I said it's spreading to my foot now.
I wonder if he tells me over & over how much "better" I am that it will magically come true?
