I cant figure out how to PM anyone lol

His w/c is through Ohio. There they fully accept CRPS and RSD as an allowed condition. In fact, it could have been an injury to an old injury that caused RSD and they would have allowed it. It was a new injury however.

Im going to start a new thread to respond to you so Im not rude doing on this one as its long winded lol. Look for a thread "Response to Lefty"

Matrix Pain Management in Saginaw Mi.

I agree! Matrix is a wonderful place! My daughter who was 9 (back in 2006)at the time when she sprained her right ankle then the RSD set in. She was one of the youngest patience they have seen come through. She had Dr. Lingenfelter back then. They tried the lower nerve blocks on her and they barley helped her. From there they sent us to Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. Mind you we live pretty much in the middle of the state. We are now having issues with her breathing and her lungs and ribs are in pain. They have just ruled out any heart and lung problems. The only other thing the Dr's could say was it is probably her RSD effecting those areas. She now she's a Dr down in Ann Arbor (not too sure if I like this place - it takes at least a month for her to even get in from the time I call with any increase to her pain). Her insurance is whats stopping her from going back to CC in Ohio. They were wonderful down there to us. She had a spinal pain pump put in and that helped while it lasted before an infection set in. She is going down hill every day and its so hard to watch a child just crumble and theres nothing I can do to help her. She was playing on her JV basketball team until the breathing became so unbearable she had to sit the bench. Which is heart wrenching to watch. She is starting to miss more and more school due to her pain, not only in her rib area, but also in her knees (not wanting clothing to touch her skin). I would like to find a primary Dr for her that would help with her RSD and any other issues. Still looking for that one to happen.

Hi everyone,

I was told by 2 doctors that i have RSD. Last December i had a slip and fall accident on the ice and i broke the tib/fib in 3 places. They had to put 2 bolts, 11 pins and a plate in to hold my ankle and leg together. Since then i've been in terrible pain, Swelling and discoloration to my foot and lower leg and very senesitive to touch along with being cold all the time.

I've been too so many doctors and they all tell me they can't help me and i don't know where to turn i was told that this spreads very fast and i can tell a difference in it everyday. i hardly have any range of motion in my foot because i've tried for almost a year to get a doctor to treat me and no luck.

I live in upper michigan (harrison, Mi) and at this point i cant take it my family doctor has no idea what to do but make me wait for different doctors that all tell me the same thing (i cant help you)..

Does anyone know of any doctors that caan help that are in michigan or anywhere for that matter....

Thank You Betty
