Smile New in Baltimore
Hi,
My name is Jeannine...Im 51 and was injured at work on June 24th 2008...I was diagnosed in November with RSD...Right now I am home again after a nasty flare up...ugh.. This whole experience started when I was coming down the steps after punching in and somehow, God knows, I missed a step and landed on my left foot and ankle, twisting the ankle inward and landing on it....As time goes on Ill tell more about my experence so far with this crappy thing that ruined my life ...I am on Lyrica...300 mg 2xdaily and right now on another Predisone pack and hydrocodone with Apap..I have been on Lexapro for quite awhile, so no other antidepressents were needed...anyhow, if you all would not mind me looking around this site for awhile, Im learning so much, Ill leave more messages...sorry for rambling and any typos, as either the Lyrica or the RSD has left me a bit scatter brained ...
Thanks,
Jeannine

Jeannine,
Welcome!
There's never any reason to apologize or explain your writing, we all go through it.
You've found a place of great understanding.

Sorry that you have rsd.
Glad that you're here.

Hello Jeannine and Welcome to NeuroTalk! You will meet many great people here who i'm sure will be more than happy to help you in anyway they possibly can!!

I'm so sorry to hear about everything that you have been through lately! I really hope that things start getting better for you real soon and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I also suffer from RSD. I have it in my left leg and both arms. I developed it when I was 12 years old after an ankle sprain and am now 14. I took nearly 5 months for me to get diagnosed and I have tried all sorts of medications and therapies to try and help but not that many have given me any relief.

Never apologize for your typing! I no first hand just how hard it can be to type and RSD has made me get mixed up really easily. I read somewhere that it's a common side effect so know that you aren't alone and that we all understand!!

I hope to see you around the forum more soon and hope that it helps you as much as it helped me and my mum!!

Take care of yourself! Sending many pain-free hugs your way!

Jeannine,
Welcome! I have rsd in all for limbs now and it is related to work. I am a nurse and I was sliding a pt up in bed and they all said it was a neck strain..turned into rsd...the the spreads. Have you had lidocaine injections, they work well on some, plus make sure you don't have a trapped nerve in that ankle.
Off the nurse stuff and on to the welcome. Do you have children or a husband? We all know these things can complicate things. I hope this finds you at low pain,
positive thoughts you way
Jennelle
