[MommadukesCRPS]

Sorry I'm new.. Posted on someone's thread this? Please forgive me, I'm just trying get myself "out here"... Need you ppl more than you know
Hey everyone.. I was also just diagnosed from an accident in beginning of this year and am scheduled with my first SGB in a week. I was 15 and struck by a car leaving me with a brachial plexus tear and parlayed my right arm. I had a SGB when I was in the hospital because of the excruciating pain and had success alongside exp nerve grafting. This was in 1990. I was able to live w manageable pain until 2011 car accident and the pain in my arm became well unbearable. I unfortunately have ortho issues with my shoulder also but the pain from the nerves was worse of the two. Putting my down few days a month and progressing to daily when I was rear ended at a stop light in Fed 2012 and now I am basically in bed 20 hours a day since. Had to move back in with my parents, lost all my clients and can't even bath my 4 year old. My 16 year old has been awesome. So my neuro sent me to UofM and they diagnosed me with CRPS with on set from a tear in feb. Feel like I made it this far thru life, actually trained in gym for years and survived a near amputation of my leg to be handed my butt on a platter with CRPS. I'm on 100mg Fen patches and taking up to 8 30mg 0C a day with neurotic 3x day. I've been on meds for a year and this is all I can do to function. I pray that the SGB will allow me enough relief to begin therapy. With the already complex nature of my preexisting injuries it's all I can do to stay positive but I know God didn't bring me this far to have me in bed the rest my life. The burning is so bad and I bite back the tears when my 4 yr old climbs into my lap she deserves better. Sorry for venting on your post. I just joined and reading so many similarities brought me to tears, I'm over asking why and moved on to how much more..... My list of what I want to be able to do again in long and I won't to beach the other day only to be in misery from the breeze. I need the support of all of you, my sanity depends on it. Thank you for sharing you inspiration and hope. I won't give up today.
