The pain has increased 4 times from where i was before the block..... i am not sure what happend, swelling has increased, pain is now hot hot hot hot... My skin is beat red on the right side of my face from my eyelid down ... I look kinda funny it looks like i put sunblock on one side of my body and not the other lol... My cousin told me i need to be more careful of my skin... she says "i dont wanna see you burn your pretty face," she is 6 her mom says this to her all the time... At lease i got a good laugh outa it! In the last 5 days i am also starting to have skin senstivity, certian fabrics are really starting to bother my elbow area????? Is this normal???? Does anyone know a real reliable site or does any one bother typing up any information on the stages of RSD i know there are stages but every where i look has a differnt anwser for each stage and has a differnt number of stages so I am confused? I know many people comment on the block question i had about the intesen pain I have been having since the block 1 month ago... Has anyone else had intense pain for this long? I am sorry i have a ton of questions... This is the first real day i feel up to doing much since that horrible day a month ago...

One last question its going to bring me to tears to have to say this.... My doctor suggested i start the process of SS???? You know its hard finally truly to your self having to admit you are disabled.. I am 21 and had so much going on until 6 months ago when this all struck really hard... I have to say to myself i am disabled??? WHAT I DONT WANNA BE DISABLED... I dont wanna be in pain the rest of my life... So i suppose that is enough being in pitty right now... My real questions about SS does anyone have any reccomendations? How do you get started... What should and shouldnt you say... What has been all of your experinces? I know this may be a very long road with SS... Just looking for some advice i guess you could say...

I suppose you could say that was enough on the soap box and complaining.....thank you for all your support!! Pain free day ahead and gentle hugs!!!
