Hi Bobber,
It's hard to comprehend that a small injury/surgery can grow into such an overwhelming condition...from what I understand, you can even develop RSD from an insect sting or bite......

Thanks for sharing all the details of your heel surgery and the different test you had afterward..I, too, in one of my previous posts, wrote how/sad/angry I was at wasted time, too....in the diagnosis..

I think you had mentioned you are doing pool therapy and how helpful it is for you....as soon as it quiets down at work I'm going to leave an hour early on Friday to get back into the warm therapy pool (93 degrees).. It's not open on week-ends and its the only warm therapy pool around...

Even though it flares up the nerve pain for a couple of days afterward, it really helped in controlling the swelling...plus, it made me feel so relaxed and put me in a positive state of mind...
Bobber, it is so kind of you to share your phone number for all of us..it is reassuring to know your help and understanding is out there for us all!!!!
Your kindness is a blessing..
Always,
Hope4thebest

Thats why God has us here,,i wasnt exaggerating about the aqua jogging,,,i put on a couple floatys and jog in place for up to an hr,,sometimes it creates pain at first,,but within 3-5 days my legs arent red anymore,,i have flareups for the first week,but when i got home id take a xanax ,,,but the body soon adjusts to it and no xanx is needed at times,,,,,remember rsd first choice of recovery is theropy,,,my legs used to be blood red with swelling and purple mottling ,but no more,,,my ankles,,,my feet are white again and so are my legs,,,i do get some mild pinkish flares,,but not like what it was like before God blesssed me by healing me and telling me to get into the pool,,ignore the 1st couple of days,let the body get used to it,,try to go at least 3-4 times a week,,,,,,,,,,if God is doing it for me he will do it for everyone,,,,,,he is not a respector of any man,,,,,,,,holller at me if and when you want,,,,,trust in the lord,,,proverbs 3:5-6
