On January 19th I had surgery for what was supposed to be nothing more than a small fatty mass in the bottom of my foot. When I came to from surgery the Dr. informed me that the fatty mass was actually protecting a tear in my plantar fascia. The tear was repaired, but a nerve was badly damaged in the process. For about two weeks following surgery it seemed as though I was recovering well, other than some small pain and numbness in my foot. Suddenly some very strange and horrible pains started setting into my foot. It feels like my foot is on fire, its being shocked by lightning, its being crushed, and the skin in certain areas have become so sensitive that even a small shift in the air of a room can make me cringe in pain - yet I cant cover the foot because that hurts as well. My foot is also slightly discolored - its got some areas of tiny red spots and some areas that look maybe bruised? I've honestly NEVER experienced pain like this in my life - I didnt even know it was possible to experience pain like this!! My Dr. tells me that I now have RSD. After trying lyrica with almost no success he has put me on neurontin and Amitriptyline and he has refered me to a pain managment Dr. The new meds help only a small amount, and I'm so scared that the pain Dr. isnt going to help. I just dont know what to do or where to go for help!? I've read that if RSD is treated early there is a better chance of it going into remission - but I dont know who to go to? Will the pain doctor help me? Or should I be seeing another type of doctor? Im so scared that I will never walk on my foot again, that I'll never sleep again, and that I'm being sentenced to a life of unbearable pain... Any advice is welcome! Thank you so much.
