Hi, just joined, new years resolution. I really need contact with others who suffer from CPRS. Pain began on April 4th of 2011, 7 doctors later......you know the usual pattern. Eventual diagnosis made strictly on clinical findings. Of course, all those tests were unnecessary. Oh my LEFT FOOT, life has become about this extremity. Used to wear a size 8, now I can wear nothing. Ugg slippers are OK, but what happens when it starts to snow?
Heard that this is reversible, sometimes spontaneously, anyone know anyone who had this happen?
Going on my 5th sympathetic nerve injection, taking lyrica, and going to physical therapy. Meds don't seem to help. Injections help some and then wear off. Actually, remaining idle seems to make pain recede. Doc says, "got to keep moving that foot"
Read and read and read about this disorder, seems like a very unfortunate one to get, not certain how I got it.
Any innovative ideas about pain and shoes? Top of foot is on fire, so any shoe seems to touch there. Love ladies boots, now they are in fashion and cannot get one on.
No one in my family understands at all. Man after working I am still standing. Asked my husband to help with laundry? Looked at me like I had 3 heads. Empathy is hard to feel from others when no one knows what you are talking about!
