I understand your pain. Dealing with the lose of your job and part of yourself is heart wrenching. I am fearful of that also. There are times that my feet hurt so much I can't walk. How am I going to drive and walk around a classroom. SO far it has been tolerable. I am still trying to find someone knowledgeable with the RSD so that it does not progress. I read that during the first 3 months in stage 1 is the most important. My neck was fine after the surgery and these issues came after the car accident. i know that your issues never resolved them self since the surgery.

I hope that you are able to enjoy this holiday season despite the problems you are having.
Gentle Hugs
