| A little about me: | Hi- I just turned 56 and live just north of Dallas. In June '06 I broke my little toe on my left foot and that Dec. 06 had to have surgery on it where it had not healed. Within a few weeks I was getting pain that was really bad, much worse than the post-surgery pain. I went back to the surgeon who acted like I was making it up, probably thinking I just wanted more pain meds. The foot didn't look really "different" yet at the time, but the pain went out of control. I have seen 4 other foot & ankle surgeons, 4 pain management doctors, 1 orthopaedic doctor (who diagnosed the RSD and sent me to a pain doc to confirm it) and another orthopaedic doctor later regarding a possible amputation which I didn't get but would still like to try. I would try a SCS if I could afford it, but I can't. I'm hoping to see a new pain doctor next week about trying ketamine infusions which she has done on a frind of mine. That's my next hope. I live alone, divorced, children are grown and doing well. I have my "baby" who is a 2 year old English Springer Spaniel and she sleeps with me and is always either snuggling with me or wanting me to throw the ball for her. She' great. I have a granddaughter, Maddie! |

"As an RSD patient I want people to know what it is and help us find treatments for this horrific pain disorder. I hope that others will also learn to show compassion for RSD patients who might not look sick but suffer unrelenting pain." |

 | Forget vallan...or as I kept thinking in my head, "villain," hehe. I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough time. I will think of you right up till the moment they knock me out for my third RFA on Wednesday. :) ( I mean, I will think of you after that too, but the versed will addle my memory for a few days, you know how it goes, hehe.) |
 | Well put in your message to Vallan!! You always have such an excellent way of putting your thoughts into words as never to make anyone else feel bad. I wish he would just leave our group and leave us all alone! Thumbs up Gail! Hugs, Jen |
