Sure is good to be back. My story: January of 2001, had a snowboarding accident and fractured L1, L2, L4, L5. In Oct. 2003, had cervical spinal fusion C5-C6 with graft and hardware. About six months after surgery, C4 and C7 started slipping and became unstable. Doctors did not want to do multi-level fusion so we tried some comfort measures, a series of epidurals and facet injections with no relief. In September of 2005, had bilateral C4-C5Radio-frequency Ablation and within eight hours of procedure, ended up in hospital with RSD in neck, shoulder, upper left arm, and back. About two months ago it spread to my mouth, including lips, tongue and teeth. For over twenty years worked as a RN in Neonatal ICU. I have been disabled since Sept of 2005. raising 5 children on my own. Hanging in there as best I can. It is so good to have our RSD family getting back together, what great support. Take Care Darla
