(sorry if this is a little long... I have never actually talked about it to someone...)

Hi, I am 19 and a Sophomore at CU Boulder. I was hit by a car my Junior year of high school. Even though there were a few pains, I didn't think much about it after I had gotten my stitches out and what not from other injuries. I continued to play football. Every game I was struck in the back and landed on my knee (same one the car hit) at least 2 times a game for about a month. Eventually, I was hit again, landed on it again, and was barely able to get to the side lines. my knee was so swollen the trainer had to cut my pants off. I was diagnosed about 2 weeks later... Sadly... I didn't understand how intense CRPS is... By my freshman year of college I was using a cane to get around due to muscular dystrophy. It was so hard to get around and do basic things, I was forced to go see a physical therapist by my friends. Soon enough we reversed the muscular dystrophy and I lost the cane... but the intensity of my nerves and the area effected has grown... It is so sensitive now I can feel an eye lash rub against the hairs on my knee... I really want the intensity to go down... Someone help?
