For me, I had a trimaellor fracture of the right ankle with a spiral fracture of the fibula. Plates and screws placed and put in cast. As I look back, I remember the cast really hurt the top of my foot. Felt like it was rubbing it raw, but when they took the cast off everything looked ok, except the color was black and blue.
I told the physician for months something was not right I hurt so bad, but he refused to send me any where else or listen to my complaint.

After 6 months he said, "I don't know what to tell you, so I am referring you to someone else." That was 2 years Jan. and I never heard from his office again nor did they ever refer me.

I also was told malpractice is to hard to prove. My big thing is he should have known from my complaints that I had rsd and failed to refer me. So I know you are ****** off and upset. Unfortunately, as you can see on here, we are not alone.

ya it sucks! is a understatement. Im seeing lubenow for a doctor now. he is putting me in the hospital for a week in the middle of next month. having a week long epideral. hoping to get some movement working in my hand that I have lost. Anyone else done this?

I can honestly say that I have never heard of that. I have heard good things about lubenow though so maybe one of his other patients would know about this procedure. From everything I have heard, you are in pretty good hands with him. Good luck and I hope that this helps you.

me .. I went to hosp. with this accident but had no pulse in right leg, and it was black and as cold as the ice i slipped on. they took an x ray. (packed it in ice) gave me script for pain killers. and put me on crutches and sent me on my way. no answer as to why i had no pulse in foot and why it was frozen.. I followed up with my ortho. who immediately got me into vasc surgeon. where he gave me a sono. and low and behold I had a clot from the accident. and it was about 2 inches long. I could have lost the leg, it could have traveled to my heart and killed me. and that would be that.. but because it didn't happen the atty,s see no law suit they can file.... ..HUH?????... we just don't have a lot of doctors that care enough any more and that sucks and for some odd reason. they make mistakes (don't make amends) and the law backs them. why? to avoid people who try to sue for a living... .. my heart goes out to you and well every one with similar stories.. I pray for good results for you all
