Confused hi there

i've read alot on this forum, but just decided to join. I was dxd with RSD about 8 weeks ago, although i believe i have had it since foot surg November 2009. I have had 2 epidural sympathetivc blocks, the first one affected the wrong leg lol., and the second went horribly wrong. The nurse forgot to give iv fluid, and my bp crashed, had to get injected with amphetamine to bring it back up. Also, only about an hour and a half of relief. Got MRI of foot done, it shows bone marrow changes in my heel, toes, and fibula. This is freaking me out. I have been complaining of something "wrong" with nerve since surg. Have not been able to put my foot in water, wear a sock/shoe, and my surgeon just kept telling me that iat would probably get better. Now my foot is purple, ice cold(I call it the creeping death) and color/cold is moveing into my calf and knee. Just had a second opinion for my foot problems and found out that I need another surgery, I have several torn tendons again, probably caused from bad surgeon the first time. They wont do it though untill I get the nerves under controll. My new doc wants me to see another PM to have some sort of electrode thing implanted in my spine. I am scared to death due to bad spinal blocks before.
AND, now i have noticed in the past week that I have a really large, painful, moveable mass(breast tissue?) in my left breast, Same side as my RSD foot. I have also had a constant headache for 22 days now(on the right side of head), and 2 days late on period. Basically feel like crap. My husband just got home from Iraq a few weeks ago, and I feel terrible for him to come home to me having all this going on.

I know this is alot, and Im new to this so hopefully you will be kind enough to read and reply, even if it is just to tell me to keep it simple lol.
The main thing is this electrode implant thing, and the bone marrow, and the breast thing that has me scared to death...
