This fall sprained the inside of my right ankle and tore the ligaments on the outside of my right ankle. I hit so hard on my right knee that It caused patella femoral maltracking problem, bursitis, chronic exertional compartment syndrome, and the MRI also showed a entrapped nerve in my knee. This is what caused the CRPS. Weather it was the damage to the ankle or to the knee that actually caused it, I don't know. I fell mid DEC. and only got a little better. It wasn't until I had the emg done in the first part of March that CRPS was even diagnosed by a orthopedic doctor ( not my doctor) in another city. I had to wait till the end of March to actually hear it from my doctor. Still waiting on the Pain Management Doctor don't get to go see him until Mid June. I so enjoy the waiting game that certain organizations like to force people to play. I have had a whole host of problems arise from this. Panic attacks, blood pressure issues, cycle problems, and of course spreading. I now feel this in both my legs and arms, I even feel it in my body. The newest thing is now my sugar likes to drop and make me sick. This is all new to me and have never had these kinds of issues. So now That I have shared my ugly story. What is next?
Reading everyone's story sure helps and sounds so familiar! I have never had problems with my body like I've had since getting RSD 18yrs ago! I was looking at your issue with sugar dropping and I have that same problem. When I see my Dr. on my next appt. I am going to ask her about my RSD and issues with my health! Thank you LISAR624
