Hi,
My name is Eileen, I am married and have 3 children 2 boys & a girl, 9, 8 & 5. I work full time as a Police Officer. In April 2006 I was playing baseball with my son & sprained my left ankle. After weeks of rest and PT I noticed a burning pain and the left side of my ankle was sensitive, color changes and muscle spasams. I went to the dr's and had mri and 3 phase bone scan. The bone scan showed blood flow ok but arthritis in my left foot. I was then sent to a pain mgnt dr and was diagonsed with crps 1. Nov 06 had my 1st block. Helped for 2 weeks. Pain is in my whole leg and feels like it is in my upper right leg. Muscle spasms are in my whole body. I had 2nd block and had no relief. My dr wants to do another block. I am not happy with my doctor. His communication skills are so poor and he looks at me funny when I complain about the pain so I went to a neurologist who said that he treats rsd at nyu in manhattan and he didn't seem that knowledgable in crps but did agree that I had it. I really need to find a doctor who is knowledgable in crps. Can anyone help me? I am desperate. Thanks, Eileen |

Hi Eileen
Sorry to hear that you have RSD/CRPS. I am unable to answer your question but I think that my RSD DATABASE SITE might be of help to you. Especially when talking to Drs. Please feel free to ask me questions. Tony http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RSD-WorldNews/ |

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the info, I found a support group in my area and they were able to give me some referals in my area. I also got a list of Dr's from RSD.org. They were really helpful. Thanks so much, Eileen |
