I SCREAMED FOR MY HUSBAND. IT STARTED SWELLING SO FAST BY THE TIME HE GOT THERE IT WAS LIKE A BALLOON & PURPLE. THEY GOT ME INTO THE CAR AND I SCREAMED ALL THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL. WELL I BROKE MY KNEE IN TWO PLACES. OF COURSE ITS THE LEG WITH THE RSD. IT HURTS SO BAD, THE PAIN CLINIC DOUBLED MY DOSE OF OXYCODONE. i GO TO THE ORTHO DOC ON MONDAY. THEY SAID I MIGHT NEED AN OPERATION. I AM SO SCARED.

Sue,

OMG! No!!!

I would be scared too. You broke your knee in two places and it's the RSD leg? I hope they are willing to do surgery on it as the fracture probably can't remain as is.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Monday.
Let us know what happens!
