And that feel's fantabulistic! I'm looking forward to all the good things that come from a site like this.
My RSD is the result of a simple work related injury. I say simple because all I did was fall. Right on my rear end. I was a little sore, but didn't feel that hurt. 10 day's later. OMGosh. I could hardly get up, walk, sit. What I did do really well then, was cry. I have never in my life had so much pain. My pain is mainly in my rear end. Yes, I am that joke you heard about. A literal pain in the rear. (LOL) Go ahead and laugh. It was meant for a few giggles. Mainly, my RSD effects the left side. I have all the symptoms on the right side as well. Just not as dark of a wonderful shade of plum red. I realize to some, I am quite new in this situation. And I don't mean to make light of anyone's situation. It's just that in my life. I must keep laughing. I must keep looking up. I must keep smiling. Dispite how I may feel. Thank you all for being here.
