HI THERE,
I suffer from RSD but I thought that I would post on here seen as Dystonia is a movement disorder.
I have recently being experiencing severe balance problems, my left leg (which is affected by RSD) shoots out in front of my without me being able to control it, I then fall back. I need my mom or dad to support me whilst walking and I walk with 2 elbow crutches.
My Pain managment doctor says that I suffer from Dystonia and RSD, however he thinks that I am putting the balance problem on - why would I do that???
I also have muscle spasms which I too cannot control (the muscle spasms could be caused by either RSD or dystonia or both), chronic pain (caused by RSD), hypersenstivity (caused by RSD), cramping pain (possibly dystonia), swelling (RSD), colour changes (RSD) and much more.
Does anyone one else suffer from balance problems with dystonia? I am sick of my doctor saying that it is all in my head!
Please reply back if you do
Alison
