RSD and Fibromyalgia Survivor
Hi. My name is Renee and I was diagnosed with RSD over two years ago after breaking my wrist after a fall on the ice. I was also recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia a few months ago. I am in constant pain all over from both conditions believe the RSD is spreading to my left wrist and right leg and foot.
I see many doctors and take many medications to deal with the pain and the pyscological toll these conditions are taking on me.
When I was first diagnosed with RSD, I had eight nerve blocks in a two month period and six months of physical therapy.
They stopped helping after that time.
I also recently tried acupuncture several times, but the pain from the needles hurt too much and I feel that it aggravated my RSD, so I stopped it.
Lately, I am having more pain and am really scared of the constant pain and the RSD spreading. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with constant pain and fear? I would really appreciate any advice you have.
Thanks.
