Hi!
I have RSD in my left upper extremity, which developed after a carpal tunnel surgery. Not properly treated for over 2 years, so by then the blocks didn't work. A short time later, I had a left achilles tendon rupture and had to have surgery, and developed RSD in my left foot and leg. (less than a year ago). I don't understand anatomy very well, but I'm wondering if when you have RSD, is the entire sympathetic nervous system comprised? Inbetween these two surgeries, I developed Major Depression and Anxiety Disorder, which started to get better with medication and psycho-therapy; but the dx. of RSD again made it worsen. I was also just dx'd with Fibromyalgia. Is this too, a deficiency in the Sympathetic Nervous System, or possibly the Central Nervous System? Since before the CTS, I had Cervical Radiculopathy as well, so I know my CNS is affected. I did have a cervical neck discectomy with fusion, which did help, but I still have the Radiculopathy. I'm tired of going to doctors, and wish I had one place to go that could help me with everything going on. I take Lyrica, Cymbalta, Klonopin, Celebrex, Prilosec RX, Flexeril, and Norco 10. I've recently lost my career over this. Thanks for listening to me. ![]() |
