She also said she thinks i have crps. im confused reading posts on here as i dont have a touch issue, it feels weird and tingly in prts but not painful really. walking though is very painful, especially after 10 mins or so. because i dont get severe pain and discomfort at touch could it mean there wrong? I see pain clinic next month. Thanks  |
I had knee surgery last April. It felt good for a couple of weeks and then started feeling the same as before surgery. I went back in and they scoped again to see if maybe something was missed. He cleared out some scar tissue, removed plica and shaved down a bone spur. That was two months after the first surgery. I never did feel better after that surgery. I was diagnosed in August 2012 with CRPS.
I didn't have much skin sensitivity to start with either. It was pain in my knee. Then the sensitivity gradually came into the picture.
I was diagnosed by my orthopedic surgeon who then referred me to a pain management doc.
It's so true that you don't have to have every symptom of CRPS/rsd to actually have it. I started with pain, then sensitivity. I am just now starting to notice skin blotchiness.
There are many here on this site much more knowledgable than I am when it comes to CRPS in general, but
I am more knowledgable when it comes to my own body. So it goes with each one of us here....only you know what you are feeling, so you need to find someone who will listen to
you and make the proper diagnosis.
Good luck.
