I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. In December of last year I had a total knee replacement which was supposed to get me up and going to keep up with my kids and grandkids. Instead, I was diagnosed in March with RSD effecting my knee and foot. This is the most discouraging and painful thing I have ever encountered (and I have had many different medical problems throughout the years!). I have had to quite my job, cannot drive at this point, and would love just 1 nite of peaceful, full sleep. I am still trying to learn more about this condition in hopes to get off of these pain pills and be able to go up and down stairs normally! I was very glad to come across this site - it makes me feel I am not alone in this painful condition. Thank you!

Hello and Welcome to Neurotalk - you will meet many great and wonderfully supportive people here!!
I am so very sorry that you suffer from RSD - I also suffer from RSD in my left leg and right arm, I have had it since I was 12 years old (I am now 13) If I can help you in any way, please don't hesitate to ask - I am more than happy to help you in any way I can. I know how scary it is living with RSD. Take care and I hope to speak to you soon! Alison
