Hi!
My name is Tina and new to this site, I was diagnosed with RSD 5 months ago in left leg. However I suspect I have had this condition for years. 5 years ago I was hit by a car while walking across a crosswalk sustaining a left shattered shoulder and left knee injuries. Went thru 9 months of torturous PT only continuing to worsen ending up with a torn rotator cuff that according to xrays and doctors I did not have before PT. My shoulder is frozen and still very painful to this day and left leg severly swollen, painful, and also unable to straighten. It has now spread to both legs, arms, wrists and hands. My quality of life has changed dramatically from a very active, physically fit, and social life to struggling to move, pain filled, and isolated exsistence.
Thankful to all of you for this site! I'm sorry any of you have this RSD stuff, but so greatful to find I'm not crazy and alone. Your stories have given me encouragement and hope. Again Thank You!
