Hiya all I have been diagnosed with crps after having a car accident two years ago I broke my left foot was put in pot for six weeks then two weeks after the pot came off I was told I had two blood clots one in my groin and one behind my knee then while I was on wafarin I was told that I had crps I didn't know wat this was but all I knew was I couldn't full weight bear on my foot and the swelling was massive so I now walk on my heal and use a crutch the only shoes I can wear are crocs , I feel that my life as it used to be is over I suffer with depression too so things are bad at the min , I used to such a active mum I am only 32 and I have five children xxxx

Hi. I am sorry for your pain and dx. Are you under the care of a doctor who deals a lot with rsd? I am thinking your out of the US? Are you under any treatments or meds? I can relate to the depression and why I went back to the psychiatrist. I still am depressed and anxious but it has helped to a degree and would suggest if you can go. Do you have help with your kids? I mean 5 kids for anyone is a lot so with this condition I can't even imagine. Hang in there.

Hi there thanks for replying I am in the uk I am seeing a pt put that's not doing much really I have had a lumbar sympathetomy it didn't work , I have also tried pregablin and gabapentin they gave me bad side effects , I am seeing a someone for PTSD she seems to think I may be bipolar too cos I have had depression for 13 years and I go really manic before I go really really low , I do have help with the kids from my partner it like role reversal but I feel like a burden to him
