[QUOTE=sue k;112573]Hi Everyone,

A little history first. I have siatic nerve damage frome a hip replacement. That is how I got Rsd type ll. I have tight foot drop and yesterday I got up and couldn't walk or put weight on my foot. Today isn't any better. My foot has been turning in for a couple of months, but now it seems to be totaly gone. It feels like the bones are not attached. My ankle can not hold up my foot. My leg and foot from the knee down are half the size of the other leg and is very red and purple. Iam afraid to go to the doctors, of what they might say. Does this mean the foot is gone? Does anyone else have this problem? I don't want to loose the foot. The pain is double my normal pain, way past 10. Pain meds not working at all.

Thanks,
Hi Sue.. If you can put an indent into your shin bone, then get to the Dr. could be a heart condition(Early warning sign) don't mean to scare you, but please lets rule out anything serious, I am no Doc. by all means, quit walking on it and get someone to drive you to the doc.'s, ER. You say your scared? keep letting it get more swollen, then you will be mad that you didn't get in sooner to have this checked out. My hubby has no feeling on his feet due to diabetes, neuropathy and his foot was so very swollen, they had him in the hospital for a heart attack and then again, another time in the ER on an I.V. over night to get the swelling down. I want you to please get this checked. Love, Desi
