Hi - welcome to this forum,
My name is Alison, I am 12 years old and I suffer from RSD in my left leg. I used to have RSD in my right arm but it is now fully recovered - thankfully.
I developed RSD in my leg after an ankle sprain in March, I was diagnosed 4 months later. My foot is rotated out to the side and I am unable to move it, due to Dystonia. I also have muscle spasms, swelling, hypersenstivity, colour changes, temperature changes, chronic pain (which is a 9 and a half out of 10), balance problems and many more symptoms. When I was diagnosed my PM doctor performed a Guanethadine nerve block which caused me to lose my balance.
2 months after diagnosis my doctor put me on Amitriptyline to try and help me sleep but this didn't work, it caused me to have a nasty side effect of 'blurred vision' and resulted in a knock to my right arm, I was diagnosed with RSD 2 weeks later.
I do have trouble with my teeth, I find that they chip a lot and they are also quite sensetive.
Take care and if you need anything I'm here
Alison
