I got RSD from a broken foot. A large guy stepped on my foot at an Angel game in CA and instead of taking 8 weeks to heal, it took 30 weeks. It was just devastation from there.
You know, I don't know what the future holds. I am definitely not "pain free". And I am not sure what drugs I will have to take in the future. I hope to beat this RSD crap all together.
Right now, the meds and the blocks work best for me and they allow me to function. I am permanently disabled and I am on Social Security Disabilty and paying COBRA Ins from my last employer. But, I lucked out because I had a PPO through Cigna and long-term disability. So, I made out okay. Not to say that I don't wish I still had my job...I guess I kinda do with my little one...That's practically full-time...
ONE DAY AT A TIME!
