Default Just diagnosed & overwhelmed

Hi everyone,

I have just been diagnosed with CRPS after I tore ligaments in my foot. I have a cast for another month but should be seeing a neuro soon (my orthopaedic surgeon knows about this as well).
I also have trigeminal neuralgia/epilepsy as a result of a head injury in a car accident.

I have been on here for PCS, and now I find out about this. I am scared, overwhelmed, in pain, and not sure what to do. I have ordered many anti inflammatory supplements and am changing my diet (I eat healthy anyways). For now I have doubled my gabapentin and I can still feel all the pain in my foot.

It's just so much. I think I am struggling with all of these situations and can't quite process why this has happened.

I will keep reading the notes and links on here, I think that I just needed to reach out.

Joanne
