CRPS/RSD

I'm new to the group hoping to connect with others who live with CRPS/RSD.

I broke both ankles 5 years ago. The left was severely damaged but fortunately my right has healed nicely. After 5 surgeries, hardware removal, total ankle replacement,subtalar fusion and 2 screws due to reoccurring hairline fractures I developed RSD/CRPS. I take Oxycodon for the pain. I'm concerned about the impact of long use of narcotics. I get regular massages to deal with scar tissues. I also use a hot tub, and try to stay active although at times walking is painful. I also use a cane but not regularly... I've had a hard time accepting I need it.
Lately I'm having trouble focusing. Does anyone else have eye problems related to the RSD? If so any ideas. I'm considering seeing an ophthalmologist.
At times I feel hopeless and helpless but keep looking for ways to live with this. My doctor suggested instead of using fight I use acceptance when I express how I describe I my search for treatments to ease my symptoms. All if this is difficult physically and psychologically!
Thank you for "listening".
