Thanks Catra for responding!

The other symptoms that I experience are as follows:
Constant- Pain level is always 7-9. Swelling in knee, calf, and lower thigh. A constant aching pain in my entire leg including my foot. It originally started as just my knee and has spread all the way to my toes and into my lower thigh. I have very limited mobility as much movement causes the pain levels to rise. I can never fall asleep when I’m tired because the aching is so bad and I just can’t get comfortable in any position. From the constant swelling I have developed a loud clicking noise in my knee when I walk. I can not put full pressure on my leg without increasing pain, so therefore I have to walk funny.

Throughout the day- I get spasms starting right below the back of my knee, worse than the feeling of a charlie horse and I can not do anything to get it to calm down except let it works it way out. My leg twitches, anywhere from in my calf, above my knee my thigh. pretty much all over my leg. When sitting for more than 20 minutes when I get up my knee, ankle and foot are very stiff and I have to walk off the increasing pain until it loosens up a little. Randomly Ill get sharp pains in my knee, and throughout out my entire leg. The pain increases when it is damp, going to rain, really cold out, or snow is on the way.

Throughout the night- Pain level rises and swelling is at its worse, that’s when right above my knee and my lower thigh begin to get red/purple blotches and the burning feeling begins, then it becomes extremely sensitive to touch (it is uncomfortable to touch all the time but I can tolerate it for the most part.) I can never get comfortable and my leg just jumps, if that makes any sense, as if someone electrocuted it and it jolted.

These are all the symptoms I wrote down as I experience them. They have progressed since the accident. When I fell they placed my knee in an immobilizer and I had crutches, they started me in Therapy 4 weeks later. I continuously complained of pain to my therapists but was told if I don't work through the pain it will never heal. After 3 weeks of therapy that’s when the symptoms began the onset and the pain was way too intolerable to continue. They sent me to get and ultra sound to check fro blood clots, all normal. Two months later he sent me for the bone scan (July 2011.) They said it was normal, although it have a pattern of uptake in my right knee. That’s when they referred me to a physiatrists, released me from their practice, and here I am today, still suffering and more aggravated than ever.

The finally just gave me something for pain. I started 10mcg Butrans patch yesterday, Bacoflen for the spasms, and Cymbalta I guess for pain too? Not sure he just prescribed them didn't explain much to me. I have concerns taking anything because I am on 5 daily meds already and ad those 3 and now I’m up to 8 meds a day, and I’m only 23.

I am going to take your advice because it was very helpful, I will be calling my lawyer first thing Monday morning and have a very long chat with him and see where it goes from there. Hopefully I can get to see a new Dr before Mediation on the 27th of this month.

Thanks again for you advice I truly appreciate it. And I’m sorry to hear you suffer from RSD also. If this is what it is then I know what your dealing with. I will definitely be an active member now, to know I have the support and I can help support others will be a lot of help psychologically.
