Just diagnosed today - CRPS
 

Had a bunionectomy three months ago and still cannot walk AT ALL. The pain in my foot is mind-bending. Although I get the burning, the swelling and discoloration, the biggest challenge is the unrelenting bone pain. I feel like I am walking on a bag of bones and broken glass. Has suggestions for what works for bone pain?

First I wanted to welcome you to Neuro Talk...:hug: So sorry your having such a bad time with pain. Below I have a link to a CRPS forum if you haven't already taken a peak. Feel free to drop in anywhere and see what everyone is up to.

Welcome to NT

Pain pills is a thought. Maybe with time it will get better. What does your doc say?

Hang in there.

Dear Chalmich...

Welcome to our home...You have found the right spot... I ma sorry for your diagnosis..it is shear pain thatwe all understand with CRPS... Try to first take a deep breathe.. keep your foot elevated and no ICE!!!! Please take the time to educate yourself on this condition and then...please move forward, aggressively finding a Dr, (neuro, Pain Management..) that you are comfortable with.. set up a regime..plan for options and begin exploring those options ie...meds, blocks... PT.. because the earlier you act the better off you will be in achieving the best results!! Again, I am so entirely sorry for you troubles.. I hope you are better knowing that we are here to help you however we can!!!!

Soft hugz, KS:hug:

Thank you all so much for such a warm welcome! The words of encouragement, the link to the CRPS section and some great advice are all so appreciated. This CRPS thing is frustrating, scary and still a mystery to me. But I feel better that I have this site to turn to!
