Shocked new trauma to initial site of CRPS II presentation... yikes!

Something stupid happened the other day while coming in from the garage. I knocked over a fire extinguisher (big and heavy) and it fell off a table and hit my Achilles tendon just above the heal or Calcaneus. $@&*^%$%!!!!!!

Once I regained my breath, I have been trying to be patient and tell myself that it’s bruised, but there’s no bruising or swelling.

Now, several days later, I am having all those nasty CRPS symptoms in that area and in my leg and foot too.. BAD. My symptoms in that area are letting me know it’s angry. Last night it was burning so bad in the specific spot it hit and my toes SOOO sensitive, crazy sensitive.

While sitting at the table last night both my legs from the knees down went numb. I couldn’t feel my feet on the floor. I haven’t had a ton of burning since the few years that followed surgery. But I am now. I’m a cold CRPS. I have hypothermia type cold in my limbs. I am having spasms like crazy, but that has been pretty bad for a while.

Worries me because I have been regressing for some time now, moving in the direction of what things felt like right after surgery back in 2004, only with more spasming and additional places on my body to deal with that are now riddled with CRPS, etc.

I see a new neuro doc on Friday, but I’m really starting to worry that the increased pain and sensations won’t be temporary.

As I typed this I thought.. irony… a friggin fire extinguisher..
