I just found you all - I am from the other BT..before the crash.

I first had RSD in 2001 after a fracture in my right foot, it gradually went away over 4 years. Then, came back when I twisted my shoulder at a PT evaluation. This time, it is much worse. It was staying put for a while, but seems to be on the move now. It has moved to my other shoulder, down my back. Am also feeling pain in a toe in my good foot. That would mean all 4 quadrants. Not good.

This week, I go to see a new doc, 3 hours away. He was in the same pain management office as Stanton Hicks for a few years, so perhaps he will know something about RSD.

My Pain Doc now does OK, and my family doc has been a real trouper. Neuro is trying, but doesn't really KNOW RSD so I don't trust what he wants to try, and I turn it down, which frustrates him. But it's MY body, ya know? Yes, you do know!

Would give the world for more than 4 hours sleep a day!

Was good to have the old BT back, but even better when someone on there mentioned this place --- and to find all the "old" friends here!!! Like coming home!
