I fell out side in the snow yesterday. OH MY GOD it hurts so bad. I dont think I broke any thing because there is no swelling, but I just hurt everywhere. With my RSD in my foot, Im just not sure what happened but I know I lost my footing because my leg was going numb. My husband said just rest and take your meds. I have pain killer and muscle relaxers so he thinks they want do me anything better than what I can do for myself. I guess he is right. I just hurt all over. Every thing is throbbing.

Guess we are not safe even on good terrian!!!! I have stumbled and fell many times before and you are right in that first goes my body then my pride!! One time is was in the middle of a furniture store with everyone and their brother watching me..so so embarrassed... right on my face!!!! I agree with your husband..rest..stay elevated and take your meds..any bad signs.. of our friend... call your Dr. asap.

Feel better soon and no more snowboarding!!!.... just teasing... KS

I am so sorry this happened. If you can for me a nice warm bath helps. Some like epsom salt that helps relax the muscles. I hope you feel better asap

Sorry this happened to you-let us know how you are doing. This should be a message to all of us!! I too have RSD in leg and foot and no matter how badly I may want to go out I NEVER go in snow or ice . Take care-Carol

I guess I need to remember my limitations. I have two lovely children, one 7 and the other 5. I went out to watch them sledding, because I wanted a picture of them. I just want to be the mom that i use to be before the RSD got worse.

So sorry you fell. It must have been beautiful to watch them play in the snow. Our daughter loved sledding,, skiing while growing up in Oregon. Of course I loved it too.
It seems we stumble, more apt to fall with our health situation than usual.I have fallen many times, which is not the norm. Have you thought about taking a cell phone or portable phone with you when you go outside alone. I do since I passed out for an hour and half one day with critically low blood pressure.
Enjoy the picture of your two precious ones. Your friend,loretta
