Woke up this morning to about 11 inches of new snow..I am so sad because both legs hurt today.I usually have rsd in my right hip to my foot.I. had a melt down already with the pain.its terrible.hurts to walk so I guess I will not be doing that..left feels just like the right-crying a lot today.sorry to lay this all out,but I have been having signs it is going into my other leg,but I did not want to face it...I hate this..hope you all are doing okay..what's your weather

Awe Moosey…. I’m so sorry. I saw on the news that you all are getting just hammered with snow. I’m sure all that weather and perhaps stress from time of year is definitely not helping.

I got on here just now because I too am welling up with tears due to pain. I have had to get real aggressive today with meds, and that sucks (side effects). I had planned to try and finish up some shopping. Looks like that won’t be happening. Instead I am stuck in bed trying not to move.. breathe. Ug!

I have been very symptomatic lately with all things CRPS II, and bonus, my lower back has decided to get in on the action. The muscle spasms I experience with CRPS (mostly in my legs), when bad, seem to make its way to my lower back. It’s miserable for sure.

Again I’m so sorry that you’re hurting so bad. I hope you get relief soon!

I am sorry to hear you are so well either.I have so much to do,but hurts to walk..hope is all I can think of right now..best wishes to you

I hear ya on the to do list. I just sent my husband off with a good deal of the list that was to be accomplished by both of us today. He seemed genuinely annoyed which is unusual for him, but he's human and I know it irritates both of us. <sigh>

Vrae & Moosey,'
please try warm up and feel better!!
Please don't hate me because I would send you some buckets of warm sunshine if only I could !! I'm in a suburb outside of Phoenix, AZ.
Come on now, some meditation....feel the warm sun soaking into your limbs...
The only downside is you wouldn't want to be here in summer.

VRae, I remember someone had to remind me when i was down and crying about
needing help. "They're frustrated at the CRPS not at you".

That is an excellent thing to remember! Thank you.
He's out shopping, bless his heart, and texting me pictures and calling and well... we're getting it done. Really... he's getting it done. Thank goodness!

My drugs have kicked in and taken the edge off for now, but I have taken up residence in my bed today. This morning was bad. Anywho, I'd take some Az sunshine for sure! But I lived in West Texas for a decade and you can keep those ridiculously HOT summer temps! Just like I am sure no one wants the cold.

It's good to lay it all out....Sorry your pain is so intense. You must live in the east. I'm in Wisc and only got a couple inches. 11 inches of snow doesn't make it easy for people with RSD. Stay inside and stay nice and warm! It's bitter cold out there. It's one of the worst things for us and our pain.

I really really really hope you feel better soon!!

Hi Moosey! We got snow mixed with sleet - lovely. I used to live in Syracuse , New York so I know all about those big snowfalls! Use all your strategies to get some comfort - do warm water baths help you? AZ- Di you are so right! I have mistaken my loved ones behavior as being upset with me, and usually that is wrong. They get fed up with CRPS too!
