Hello I'm new here also new to crps/2
I had a foot injury in July 2012 from a abusive partner. He did not allow me see a dr. I got out of that in Aug.2012, went to the dr. in Oct. 2012. He sent me to a surgeon, had a MRI find out I had a torn tendon(12/2012). Had surgery in April 2013. My foot got worse after surgery, July 2013 had another MRI, he told me some people take longer to heal. I was in alot of pain so he put me on Tramadol 50mg every 6hrs. help some. Well my pcp didn't like that, so he sent me for a second opinion in Sept. 2013. He told me I have nerve damage & put me on gabapentin 300mg 3X daily, kept me on tramadol & sent me to a pain dr. I got a app. for 12/9/13 she agree about the nerve damage & upped my gabagentin to 600mg 3X daily & send me to the Hosp. for test, on 1/8/14 had a Bone Scan & EMG, I was diagnose at the Hosp. for CRPS/2. This has been a long painful wait. My pain dr. said yes to the crps/2 & upped my gabagentin to 900mg 3X daily, toke me off tramadol put me on Nucynta ER 50mg 1tab. every 12 hrs.
I need to start Phy. therapy but with my ins. have to hold on that. no income, live with my Mom & son. I just hate it when I have to count on them. I'm the one who is to be taking care of them. My son has MD, get SSI.
