Hi Brittany. I am also new to this whole message board thing! My name is Kim, and I was diagnosed with RSD in January of this year. My original injury was to my left hip last October. Also work related. I live near Middletown, DE. I am sympathetic to your feelings, and can understand what you are going through. My RSD is also in my leg, and I am having a very hard time getting any relief. Meds make me sick, sympathetic nerve blocks don't help (I've had three so far), and I am home alone all day while my very loving husband is working. It is very lonely and depressing. I pretty much watch TV all day and am trying to find a good hobby to entertain me. I read ALOT and have become addicted to Desperate Housewives! I am on my third round of PT. Just found out that I also have a torn hamstring. I have an attorney, and will get a rating for permancy in October. (One year after injury). If you are bored during the day, I would love to chat. Please know that you are in my prayers, and you will encourage me to get relief and feel good about myself too!
