Welcome...
Hiya,
Yes you are on the RSD community. Welcome to Neurotalk, I am so sorry about everything you are going through ((hugs))
Please let me introduce myself:
My name is Alison, I am nearly 13 years old and I suffer from RSD in my left leg and right arm. I first developed RSD in my leg on the 16th March 2007 after an ankle sprain. After 4 months of physiotherapists telling me to stop imagining the pain, I was diagnosed with RSD, I felt as though my life had just ended. Immediatley after diagnosis my PM doctor performed a "Guanethidine nerve block", which caused me to lose my balance (I can't walk my leg shoots out in front of me)
2 months later my PM doctor prescribed me "Amitriptyline" to try and help me sleep but I suffered from a nasty side effect of "blurred vision", this resulted in a knock to my right arm. My arm began to swell, I got the burning pain, colour changes etc. 2 weeks later, I was diagnosed with RSD in my arm. The RSD in my arm has been into remission, but the RSD keeps flaring up when the weather is cold etc.
So far I haven't found anything that helps with the pain. Are you on any pills? some tablets can help control pain and other symptoms. Other people find that physiotherapy helps.
Take care and if you need anything just ask
Thanks
