Hello, my name is Steve and I have RSD from an ankle sprain a few years ago. I suffered the injury on the job, but my employer claimed they werent aware of this, so I was denied WC. I haven't worked since 11/2006, had to sell my home, and have spent nearly all my life savings. Worse yet, I have to live with my parents at 37 years of age.

On a reply to one of my threads, SBOWLING said that they went to Dr Schwartzman in Philly who is a RSD specialist. Don't know if that helps you, but there ya go. Take are and keep your chin up; we're here for you.

Hello, I am new to the forum and am so happy that I have found it. I was diagnosed with RSD/CRPS a year ago after having a staph infection in my lower left leg. It is now spreading and I have been to doctor to doctor trying to get them to listen to me. I finally found a good pain management dr. and he doesn't take my insurance. There are very few doctors in my area that will honestly diagnose and treat this disorder. I don't know what to do. I also was born with Cerebral Palsy that has effected both of my legs, so now I have a double whammy with the RSD. I just need someone who will listen and a place to sound off when I get down, because as a lot of sufferers know you can't always get the support of their families. My family is suffering because I used to have 2 jobs and now I can barely take care of my house. My husband tries really hard to make it easier on me, but he misses the way I was before. He continues to be wonderful, but I would like to make friends on here who understand why I don't want certain material on my leg and arms, and why some days are good and some days are really bad. Thanks for listening. |
