Welcome to Neuro Talk. Your post can be as long as you need it to be. This is what the site is for. You are welcome here to go to all the forums that may help you. I am sorry you got hit by the car to start with. I understand abit about these kinds of conditions that develop with re-injury over time. You need to see a specialist. An Orthopedic, Neuro surgeon, in those diciplines. A pain specialist can help too, and you need a good one. Sometimes the current doctor you see can recommend you to one. If you don't know who to go to, ask for the referral and have your doctor call in for you. You can also post where you location is, and somebody on site, may be able to tell you of their doctor. I do tell others who I see in my state. A doctor who specializes in RSD is also the best source of information, and help, but can be hard to locate. A teaching hospital in your area can help find one. I am sorry that you are young and having to go through this. However your youth can also be a strong point in the healing department. I hope this condition can be reversed, or calmed so you have your life back to a more normal way. Don't give up. This site will be here for you with any of your questions. I found this site when I was in bad shape, and the help I received got me through the worst of it. take care, ginnie
