my doctor in boston told me they had stretch the nerve in Fall River and that is what caused the palsy with the foot drop and numbness and the rsd was just a bonus i guess.
may i ask what treatments you had as a child forthe congenital problem? mine was not diagnosed until i was four, i was falling alot, and then i spent two years in body casts from my underarms to my toes with my leg in all sorts of positions to try to get the hip in the socket the right way. i ended up with a 4-5 inch difference in my leg lengths from that. over the course of the three hip replacements, that is almost normal now. but of course now with the palsy and the rsd i am in a differet mess .... i did manage to have a family and become an RN despite it all, but that is all gone now.
do you go to a pain clinic now? i just use my pcp at present. joan
