Hi Everyone,

I really need your opinion. I'm really scared. Let me tell you what happened.

First, I've had RSD in my left arm since 8/06. It's gone to my right arm also. I had a spinal cord stimulator implanted in 11/08.

Two nights ago, my son and I were standing at the kitchen counter making our own dinners. My son is 12. He had some frozen food he put on a dinner plate to bring to the microwave. He dropped the plate on my big toe. Like straight down not flat. It landed right below the nail on my big toe. It hurt like I can't even tell you. I was crying on the floor. Well, the toe isn't broken but is severely bruised. I am in a lot of pain. I've had periods of burning on my ankle/leg and the horrible aching at night in my whole leg.

I am really scared that this will move to my leg. Thankfully, I've just had this in my arms where I am still able to get to work and doesn't affect my mobility.

Because I had the stimulator implanted, I also now have burning in my back.
FYI - the stimulator has done wonders for my arm.

Can anyone tell me what it felt like to have RSD move to another area due to trauma?

Thank you in advance for responding.
