Hi everyone,

Thanks for welcoming me to your group. This looks like a huge group, and i have to say I'm overwhelmed. I have RSD from the lower back and down both legs, front and back. I also have it in my left arm! This was caused by three failed back surgeries back in July of 2006. A nerve in the lower lumbar region was cut twice! I've had time to go through all the emotions of contracting RSD, and I'm finally OK with it. I've forgiven the Neurosurgeon for what he did to me, and my life has taken on a whole new direction, where I'm able to give back and help others, which is what life is about anyway. My wish is that more Doctors and people in general knew about RSD and what a horrible disease it is. I get tired of explaining the disease to everyone i meet, including some Doctors, and Nurses. I hope you all have a pain free night!

Blessings,
