I was injured almost 3 1/2 years ago. About a year after the injury (herniated disc L4-5) I started to have pains in both of my legs. Sometimes I even notice my legs seem cold even when the rest of my body is not cold. About 2 months ago I had a bone fusion on L4-5 and now the pain is still in my right leg, but worse in my left leg. Since the surgery I have an area of my upper thigh on my left leg that is now numb and tends to have a burning sensation from time to time. This area can also be very sensitive from time to time as well. The pain that I feel in my legs is constant....I feel the pain around the clock and it's painful! My dr. just started me on Neurontin this week and hoping it will have a good affect on me. Besides the Neurontin I am also taking percosets which I've been taking for over 3 years for my back pains, etc. Does it seem possible that I have RSD? The only dr. that I've been seeing on a semi regular basis is the orthpaedic surgeon. He is in Massachusetts where I used to live, but now reside in FL. Fortunately I have finally found a pain management center here in FL that will accept my Massachusetts workers compensation claim so hopefully I can start to get the care I need...sorry for making this post so long...it's just been a very long road that has been very frustrating for me. I've been out of work for 3 1/2 years now due to the back injury, and all of the pain that I've been experiencing. Looking forward to hearing any thoughts that anyone might have on this. Thanks!
