I am new here to this place but not new on Peer to Peer site for RSD/CRPS
My name is Jrzgirl1, and I know I have this problem but all of my DR.s will not give me a straight DX, this started with wrist surgery in 08 and worsened after I broke my right small toe and 5th metatarsal bone, a month or so after that(and being in a cam walker for 3 months) my foot was turning red,purple and bad edema but my Orthop. said it was NORMAL, I finally went to a foot doctor because the pain and burning were so bad, he sent me with a DX of crps to PT and PM doctor. PM doctor wanted to do shots in my back 3xweek. My husband lost his job so I could not afford the co-pays for this $2000,00 per visit/treatment each. I am on darvocet, that is all I can take, so many drug allergies,we have to sell our house by 9/15 or we lose it, STRESSED OUT . Our Golden was admitted to the vets yesterday, some kind of virus, had IV therapy, blood work and meds, he vomited that yellow bile up several times since Fri. I am losing this battle because of stress and pain in my feet.hands and legs.
