Nothing like an insensitive doctor to make you feel even worse than you arrived for help. Good grief, I’m so sorry Bram! I’m not sure that I can offer more than has been suggested already, but I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you and hoping this will ease real soon. I too have hip pain, and is sucks for sure when you also have lower back pain. It can feel impossible to find a comfortable position or to move at all. The prospect of going to the bathroom (loo) can feel cruel at best.

Hang in there Bram… surely it will start to pass soon. Your family loves you, and as much of a burden that we can feel we are to them from time to time, they are just happy to have us with them, no matter what shape we’re in. Try and take it easy and again, I really hope this will let up soon!

Zook, OMG girl! WOW! Okay… yes, that looks all kinds of PAINFUL without CRPS, holy sheep! Bram, perhaps she will be able to offer advice that will help. Good Lord, that’s intense! Amazing what you have endured!
