I'm Ashton I am 26 and I have been diagnosed with RSDS stage 2. In Oct.'11 I was hit head on at 70mph. I acquired multiple devistating injuries and was not expected to survive. Needless to say I made it with the help of an amazing medical team, great drugs and thousands of dollars worth of titanium hardware!

I have since had constant sever debilitating pain of the right ankle knee and pelvis. I have been pushed off from dr to dr with zero clue as to what was causing the pain, swelling, discoloration and bone degeneration at one point I was told there was nothing that could be done and to just deal with it!
I finally took all of my issues to my GP who said she is 98% positive I have RSDS but to be sure she was reffering me to a Nerve specialists who would do more in depth test and would beable to give me a 100% accurate answer. Today at 12pm I was diagnosed with RSDS stage2 and my agressive TX plan began I was prescribed 6 oral medication and given a refferal to a desensitizing PT. Tomorrow I go in to have a custome orthopedic insert made to reduce pressure and furth damage to my ankle and Monday I have my first big procedure. Im sor ready for sum relief from this pain!
