Ali,
I am so sorry about your Grandad passing away.. Sending you my sympathy from afar..

Good Grief they even messed up your splint. They should
make that right and correct it. Good luck in making them to the right thing..
Allen,
Distractions definitely help.. Funny movies, I have several friends I email, a couple of hobbies.. They all help keep my spirits up!
Diana,
HBOT sounds promising. I am looking into finding a location that has one..I will PM you..Thank you so much!
Sandra,
You are so right, it is best to know as much as possible about this demon RSD..I have found that my doctor knows some about RSD but not as much
as I would like..Nice to meet you too!
Mike, Thank you for the welcome..I will be trying some different things to see what works for me.. I was discouraged with my first lumbar block.. so I will stay with Neurontin, Baclofen and Tramadol for now..
MomiINPainRSD..Greetings Neighbor! I do have to get back to walking. The swelling is making that a challenge for sure.. I can now move my toes and my ankle I can't bend at all..I will keep working at it..

I was a bit too over zealous with my walker and managed to pull muscles in my chest,, MY PT Lynn wrapped me with an ace wrap.. She told my Neil what to buy and he came right back with it..She said she would have to charge us much more for it, when he could just buy it at the drug store.. She is always looking to save us money.. Anyway Lynn says I have to deep breathe or risk pneumonia. Since breathing hurts she was afraid I would do too much shallow breathing.. She said to be sure and take vitamins and also vitamin C. She is so motherly! I really didn't need chest owies on top of the foot and leg thing and I hope it doesn't turn into RSD.. I feel like such a mess.. Oh well...
One day at a time.. Hugs to all.. Here's to a cure for RSD!
