Thank you all for your kind words - I really appreciate them!!
I don't feel well at all really today. I think I am paying a lot for what I did whilst I was on Vacation as my leg has really swollen up and the pain has gone up a lot. I'm getting a lot more colour changes at the top of my leg which I was never getting before, it looks as though my leg has been really bruised and is red and blue in places! I have been asleep most of the day although I have been waking up quite a lot from the pain as i'm not able to get comfortable lately.
I'm really not sure what is wrong with my dad. He is REALLY verbally abusive towards my mum as well - he will always moan at her for being slightly overweight and call her fat and ugly which really upsets her and makes her confidence really low. If we say anything to him, he will just say that he thinks my mum needs scaring into loosing weight without actually realising that what he is saying is making her worse. My mum has tried to get him to leave the house but he wont and at the moment, we don't have enough money to afford any legal action. It is really frustrating as one minute he will be OK and the next, he will just flip and turn really nasty towards either me or my mum. I really wish he would go and speak to my PM Doctor but he wont - he has only been to the hospital 3 times in the 2 years that I have had RSD and it really upsets me!!!
Roz - I'm not sure if I have Lymph swelling. I spoke to my PT's about it a few months ago when it first happened and they were really concerned and thought I had either a blood clot or Compartment Syndrome and did an urgent Ultrasound. The tests came back OK but showed lack of curculation in quite a few places. My PT's and Doctor have mentioned Lymph Node Swelling and I have been given lots of exercises to do to try and reduce it and my PT's also massage my leg to try and get rid of the swelling.
I'm not sure when I am back at PT next. My PT's told my mum to call them and they would try and arrange an appointment. I'm hoping I can see them soon as I want them to check my left arm to see if it is RSD as it isn't getting any better at all - it seems to be getting worse if anything. I'm due to go onto the Intense PT Program in April but i'm not sure if we are going as it didn't help last time.
Thanks again everyone and I will post some pics from Vegas soon!!
