Hi all - I am so glad that I found this web site! I am having problems still with a spinal fusion that i had back in July and my L5 nerve was damaged. I have been diagnosed with RSD and the CRAZY symptoms that go along with it! I can't believe the pain that is involved. I have been unable to work since my fusion with all these complications and I have to admit am going out of my mind staring at these same four walls. I didn't know if anyone else had some of the same RSD symptoms as I have....my toes are beginning to curl inwards towards my big toe. My toes are so tight also.......this may sound strange but my feet and toes feel like they are turning to stone. Would love to hear about others experiences just to make me feel I am not crazy and all alone with this. Thanks!

Hello there!

It's good to have you! You certainly are not crazy! What you describe is very real (unfortunately).....

The RSD forum is very active and FULL of wonderful folks.
I didn't realize how many wonderful people there really are in the world...until I came upon this forum.......I too felt very 'alone' in my battle.

I hope you get the pain relief and quality of life you deserve....

Truly Caring
Rae
