Hello
I'm an English man of 41yrs living and working in France for the most part of 9yrs.Well I have not worked since 9 June 2010,that's when I had my accident.I fell 2-3meters and badly sprained my ankle.Well to say the least the french medical system is not great.To start with they put my leg in plaster but 2days later I was back in hospital to have it removed.They said it was not broken and to keep it up for a few days.My old doctor just perscribed me strong painkillers and sleeping tablets,after 6mths he told me there was nothing he could do for me and to go back to work.The doctor for work said he was a fool and to find a new doctor.
My new doctor has been great and we've been to one specialist to another but each time no-one could diagnose the problem.Well to say the least we've tried alot but it's like banging your head against the wall.It's hard to stay positive and not get depressed.I've put on alot of weight as I'm not very mobile and as soon as I push myself I end up in pain.
My partner has been amazing,for the first year I could not get a shoe on and had to pee in a bucket as I could not move fast enough,now I'm more mobile but she has to put up with my outbursts and rage.Not all the time .
Yesterday I was diagnosed by a top ankle specialist withCRPS.I've stopped my medicine and started a new positive attitude,life goes on,but I don't know what treatments to go for as i've lost all respect for the medical profession in France.
I'm open to any suggestions and your time is respected.
