I haven't talked to ya'll too much & it is heartbreaking what Ali is & has gone thru with pain. I may have missed a post but are they going to remove her whole toenail or just part of it? I have had both, partial nail one on my big toe & a whole nail on the toe next to a big one. They both do hurt & this was years & years before I had RSD. So hang in there sweetie. And if it hurts bad enough be sure to tell your Mom so she help you thru it with meds. I will be praying that it does not make your RSD worse.

And the one thing you do have going for you is your age. Hoepfully with the new doctor & Physical therapy they want you to go thru you will come out the other side a well & totally healthy young woman. I will pray for this also.

I just wanted to let you know even tho some of us haven't said anything before does not mean we are not on your side 150%+ OK? And Happy Belated Birthday. You turned into an offcial teenager when you hit 13 kiddo!!

Lots of soft gentle hugs,
DebbyV

ps:I also have RSD in both of my feet & ankles & it started in '03 & was dx'ed in '04.
