| A little about me: | Dignosed Oct. 2011 with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Only good thing is at least now I know what to call it. July 2011 I broke my left foot [4 bones]by dropping something heavy on it. Once the Dr. had X-rays showing all had healed he said the pain was all in my head. The pain and swelling continues as if it was the 2nd week. When I returned to my family MD he sent me to a different Orthopaetic who dignosed me on the first visit. Since then I have gone to a physical theropist and had sympathic pain blocks in my spine. I joined this forum to learn and find others who suffer with pain when there should be none. |

My Hugs

You can read about our new, simplified group rules here: http://www.mdjunction.com/forums/reflex-sympathetic-dystrophy-discussions/general-support/10635134-welcome-message-and-group-rules-for-the-rsd-support-group, and read about ​each of ​ our goals for the group in our leadership profiles here: http://www.mdjunction.com/reflex-sympathetic-dystrophy/group-leaders We hope that you will come on by for a visit, read some posts, write some posts, and make yourself at home with us. We are here to serve you! With Love, Peace, and Aloha, Howard, Jenny and Julie |
| Dear Friends, I am writing to let you know that I have volunteered to co-lead the RSD Support Group. I feel very strongly that this syndrome is under-funded for research, that many doctors remain unaware of the symptoms of this condition (the average patient sees 5 professional medical providers before they are diagnosed), and also that the general public for the most part has never heard of this condition which afflicts 50,000 new patients every year in the USA alone. How many of you have tried to tell a friend of family member about your condition, and been met with a blank stare? I hope to make a positive contribution to this site through providing information in posts and continuing to expand our Resources section. I pledge to be here for you as a friendly ear, so that you know that you are not alone in your experience. I would like to see this group thrive as a welcoming community, where we can explore the ups and downs of this condition in a safe environment. We can make a difference in our own lives and in the lives of other CRPS/RSD patients by being better informed about the syndrome, and by sharing that information with our own community of doctors, friends and family. I am particularly interested in alternative and complimentary tools such as those used by Rev and offered at many pain management clinics ~ such as meditation, relaxation techniques, and volunteering to help others. There are things that WE can do to help ourselves reduce our own suffering. I will need your patience and a little coaching along the way as I am new to being a forum leader. I will sincerely appreciate any feedback from my co-leader Craig and from any and all members. If you have any suggestions or ideas, please feel free to contact me because this is OUR group, and OUR community, created and sustained by OUR participation. Thank you for this opportunity to be of service, Mahalo, Jenny |
