Thumbs down My sucky yesterday

My scs has me feeling fantastic! I can do a lot of things that I haven't been able to in a long time. Well yesterday I tripped and my foot, the RSD foot, never the good foot of course, hit the lip of the sidewalk and down I went. Well, being 6 1/2 weeks post op I went straight to protection of my back. I did protect the scs BUT the consequence was two broken foot bones, a chip. So I am tuck in a cam walker. My podiatrist flat out refuses to cast rsd limbs (smart man; knows it does more harm than good), and crutches. I can try weight bearing after 2-3 weeks, but 6-8 in the boot. Such a bummer. The deterioration of the bone in my RSD leg is terrible. I'm afraid this may become an outgoing problem. The scs is of course calming rsd pain, but doing nothing for the bone pain. It hurts soooooo bad. I never realized a foot break could be so painful even with scs and pain meds lol.

Well, that's my horrible update.
Scs is awesome, right foot is not

Obviously I'm an emotional whine bag too. Could use some cheering.
