First, thank you to all you great people for helping me. I tend to let things go just because Iam so afraid of what else is coming with this monster RSD. The Docs couldn't fit me in so I went to the er. My foot was worse than yesterday and if I stood up, I wet right back down. The xray showed no fractures, but they put a cast on my leg from the knee down and I have to use cruthces until I see an orthopedic Dr. The er couldn't tell me what was really wrong. I'll just have to wait and see.
Thanks again, Sue K. |

Hey Sue,
When you were talking about foot drop - do you think that it could be that your achilles tendon has snapped? My ankles and feet have been destroyed by the RSD and both my ankles are almost upside down from inversion and when they were first trying to stretch them through serial splinting they had to give up for fears of snapping all the tendons. Hope that you see a dr soon that can help!!! Love Frogga xxxxxx |

Desi,
They put the cast on to try to get my foot straight. and I couldn't keep my foor from turning over. It feels alot better now that it has support and im not having as much trouble keeping my balance. Iam calling the ortopedic dac today. Thanks for your concern, I'll let you know what they say. Love Sue K. |

Hi everybody,
I just got real lucky! My husbands doc is going to see me today at 2:15. He is the best doc around here. He usually just deals with spine issues, but becaues my husband has gone to him for over 25 yrs, hes agreed to see me. Wish me luck. Love Sue K. |

hi guys,
i went to the drs. and he said my foot is completly gone. first he took xrays and did'nt like the looks of my scs. he wants to put in a bigger and and better one. he said that i have to have the foot fused. the only problem is he only works on back problems. he is a very respected dr in this area. he is so nice and showed real concern for me. now i know why my husband will only see him. he set up an appt for me to get a new brace and i'll have to be on crutches until they fix my foot. i fell this morning just getting out of bed. thanks for all of your support. love sue k |

Sorry to hear you are having such major problems with the foot. I was just wondering if you had hurt it somewhere along the line that you don't remember and are just now seeing this problem.
I was told I'd injured my back and I can't remember ever doing it accept when I was a tomboy growing up. I hope that they can do something to help you use it again. Ada |
