Default Hello Littlepaw

I am new to the forum and trying to link up with others that may have my problem. I broke both heels and my right talar bone in a fall and have been trying to recover for 10 months. The Pain Specialist has suspicions that I may have CRPS. I am in pain all of the time and the medicines I have been prescribed, most recently Gabapentin and Butrans patch and a compound pain cream have not helped so far. I am frustrated and depressed and can't do anything that I like to do anymore. I have no tolerance for walking distances and I used to walk five miles a day. The medicines scare me because of a cardiac issue and although the pain specialist says they should be fine, I am having more palpitations since I have been taking the meds. Never in my wildest imagination would I have thought foot problems could cause so much disruption in my normal life. I am using the forum as a way to communicate and educate myself with others experiencing the same. Good luck to you.
