Thanks for the warm welcome! No injury or surgery. Fourth time that I had cellulitits. First time I couldn't walk because the pain was so bad.

Let me back up 17 years. My first pregnancy I gained over 100 lbs. It was mostly edema that never went away in my hands and feet. At six months pregnant, I was in a car accident. No x-rays or other texts were done on me until he was three months old. They showed a cracked pelvis. No idea if it was from accident or the hard forceps childbirth.

I have elevated my feet for the past 17 years and have been to numerous doctors who said they didn't know what was wrong with me. The pain had been excruciating. Sometimes my feet sweat bad and water has seeped from the top of them. I'm glad I'm finally going to see a doctor who specializes in RSD. If that's not what is wrong with me then I'm back to square one. Very frustrating and depressing. I also have MSK (medullary sponge kidney) and IBS.

I currently take Lorazepam for panic attacks, a water pill for edema, and Neurontin for the burning/shooting pains. Sometimes I take a Vicodin which was prescribed for kidney stones. And, Indocin for inflammation. All that and still in pain and swollen. In hospital, I was on Morphine.
