Default Good to Know......

So I had a massive flare last week. Turned out to be that I had a small piece of glass in my foot, and it was infected....which was making my Crps flares like nothing I've ever had before.. I'm actually screamed from the pain a few times! My doctor thought it was nothing to be worried about and had just been telling me to "hang in there" until my Lidocane treatment. Thankfully when I called the on call doctor at 2am when I had gone without sleep for at least 2 weeks. He sent me to the ER and within 4 days of having the tiny piece of glass out and being on antibiotics I feel way "better" at least not in constant flare mode. It was the worst week. On top of all that, I had a bad reaction to Topemax... which was the last non narcotic pain medication my specialist could think of to try! We can hope that the infusion works and I won't need it but I'm not putting all my hopes in it, just in case it doesn't!
My point in all this?

When you have Crps or any other nerve issues and can't feel the bottom of your feet sometime don't walk barefoot!!!
Of course finding something to wear on my feet was a whole different problem!
