im not a teen yet - im 12 nearly 13
I developed RSD following a recent ankle sprain. I had physio for 6 weeks including Hydrotherapy both of which didnt seem to work. The Physiotherapists told me it was all in my head and to stop putting it on.
My mum had enough and went crazy - she then took me to a different hospital where they immediatley admitted me. They did blood tests which comfirmed I was at risk of developing Athritis. They told me and my mum that they thought it was RSD but to be certian they had to reffer me to a different hospital. The day after we went to the other hospital. Where we saw a RSD specialist who comfirmed it was RSD / CRPS type 1. The day after they did a nerve block which didnt work. I was then prescribed Gabapentin and ever since I have been really wobbly which is making matters worse - does anyone know if this is a side effect?? Ive also been having breathing difficulties - my mum phoned the hospital and they just said it was probably a cold and to leave it - but I dont have any symptoms of a cold.
On Wednesday Im going to see him again so we will mention it to him -but if anyone can offer any help in the meantime that would be much appriciated.
Please reply and sorry this is such a long post
