Hi everyone.
My name is Kim and I am an RN who sustained a crush injury in October.
Since then, my life has been turned upside down! I am seeing a neurologist who "suspects" hat I have RSD and has told me to "read up on in" while not officially diagnosing me. I am in pain every day with burning and electric shocks in my left hand. I am scared that I am becoming dependant on Norco by can't function without it. I am also taking Mobic and Neurontin. I had 1 satellite ganglion nerve block that was unsuccessful. Recently I have started having twice chez in my extremities. My neurologist has not seen me since the block in middle November and now says I need a second opinion which is scheduled for Monday. I am confused, depressed, hurting and scared. I would love some insight from you guys. Specifically what medications you guys are using to function and if you are capable of working?
Sorry about the rambling post.
Kim
