Hello all,

Here is a short version of my story. I had knee surgery 10/07, long painful recovery not going as well as anyone had hoped finally diagnosed with CRPS 01/09. Have been going for treatment since then hoping for the best also learning as much as I can. One of the most difficult part for me thus far is family who do not comprehend my pain therefore are not very supportive. Luckily my Mother and Step Father have been amazingly supportive to me. My Mother is who actually found this site for me! I have already read through the survival kit thread, found it very helpful. Wish you all a pain free holiday weekend!
