I did get a few things accomplished today and I am trying to get an appointment set up with someone. I've just gotten to the point that I hate seeing doctors but unfortunately I'm not in a position where I can avoid them all together.

Daniella, I appreciate your offer to be an email friend. It sounds like you've had problems for the past few years like myself. I was just starting to accept life with some form of disability and then this neuropathy thing came along and now I'm a mess once again. That's life though. I'll send you a PM with my email address.

Finz, I had a doctor take x-rays of my feet awhile ago and said that it looked as though the bones were thinning. He said based on that and from how long I've been in pain I might have Chronic Pain Syndrome. As far as I know that's completely different than RSD. I read a few things about it at the time and thought the guy was trying to claim I was crazy and I wasn't to happy with his opinion and never went back. Now that I've read up on RSD a little it could be very possible that's why my bones are thinning and certainly makes more sense. The only place they appear to be thinning is is my feet which is where I had the initial injuries almost three years ago.

That would be a strong indicator for RSD. PN doesn't cause bone loss.

Not that we want either condition !

I am glad you are trying to set up an appointment and I PM you back. Trust me there has been so many times I say no more doctors after having been to so many but then in time I do go see someone. Truly my last doctor after so many was my best so I try to remind myself and others that it just takes 1 doctor to look outside the box so to speak and help you. Hang in there
