I am diagnosticly tested out for now so the why behind my conditions is unknown. I do feel though it is important to rule out all possible conditions because some that are caught early can be treated better. Also from what I have been told that if you can find the reason behind all this it is easier to treat. Now for me I have RSD and PN but since I don't know the cause it is about pain control and treatments. So if you get to the point where you are dx tested out you may want to look into pain doctor etc.

No, Daniella, I've had no injury or accident to my back. No clue where all that came from either. As far as the arthritis, my ortho is very conservative in her treatment. The only medication she is recommending at this time is glucosamine chondrontin (sp??) and orthotics. I'm ok with that because honestly my ankles and feet only hurt when I walk..HAHA. If I step just right I feel as if a bone is breaking in that area. I literally see stars but it goes away momentarily. Just hoping it doesn't happen in both feet at the same time because I know I will go to the floor!
I am very fortunate that at this point in time I am not experiencing much pain with the PN. So I guess the Lyrica is working. My toes and fingers feel cold and numb mostly...like frost bite might feel. But these stinging, pinching things that happen all over my body (face, neck, legs, arms, torso) are quite annoying. The weirdest thing is the numb feeling I get around my eyes and eyelids. I get the results of the MRI of my head tomorrow!
Thank you for listening, my husband isn't understanding. He wants the person he married 3 years ago back. I can't blame him because I want her back too, but I didn't ask for this!
