The RSD has spread to my left lower leg and foot and walking with my cane was a chore. Looks like until my motorized wheelchair arrives I'll be staying in...
Sorry you had a difficult time...I hope you get the wheelchair soon. Darn cold weather!

That island in the South Pacific sounds really nice right about now...

Kidding aside, property in Scottsdale is CHEAP right now. There are other spots as well. Having you and the wife considered becoming snowbirds? Think of all the jalapeños you could eat in AZ!
Jimbo--this snowbird question!

I woke up today and asked my wife if it was going to rain. I told her my arm/hand was burning terrible and that sometimes is a forecaster of rain.
Sure enough it started raining about 3:00 this afternoon and it's still raining.
RSD has spread to my left foot and now today is up to my knee.
I went out for dinner to take my mind off of the pain. Couldn't walk on my left foot and the pain was getting worse even tho I took my afternoon Lyrica dose.
My wife gave me some aspirin with no affect.
To make things worse my balance is getting worse too.
Going to contact my neurologist and let her know hoping I'll find some sort of relief.
I just needed to vent a little...

I lived in Yuma AZ (7 miles north of the border in SW corner of AZ) and the "snowbird" traffic was horrible in the winter there. There was always major RV accidents everywhere and the traffic was a mess. Yeah the winters were amazing there...but the large amount of people that descended on Yuma for the winter sometimes made me love the summer when it was 110...because no one would be around lol. I guess you have to take the good with the bad and forget about the ugly:.)
