My name is Kirsti and I was diagnosed with CRPS in '95 after dropping a boxed brake rotor on my foot.
I've had almost every treatment under the sun for this. My pain management Dr. sent me to a colleague who said it's not rsd, despite the symptoms, and sent me to a sports medicine guy. He (sport med guy) did an ultrasound guided injection of lidocaine & a steroid anti-inflammatory.
I did get 5 hours of good relief.
Since then the pain seems to reach beyond the original area. I've had this for so long with no spreading so I hope that's not what's happening. Pain resumed to the original level.
My new diagnosis is a neuroma. But there is just a thickening of the nerve, not a growth, per se.
Thank you to everyone that's responded to my posts.
Thank you very much!
