To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download At a very young age I am 17 years old, and I was diagnosed with RSD (i was also diagnosed with spondolarthopy [spondylarthropy] too) 3 years ago, but I’ve had it for 5 years. In 7th grade, I was playing soccer in PE. I kicked the ball and then there was a pain in my right foot. I didn’t know what happened. I went to a doctor everyday, literally. I had every possible test done. Went to all kinds of specialists. 5 years ago it was in my right foot, and progressed to the entire right side of my body. Now…5 years later, RSD is all over my ENTIRE body. I’m always in pain. I’ve danced from when I was 3 years old til now. It was my life and i competed and had planned to major in it and become pro. I had to quit in November because its getting way worse. It’s the worst thing I could ever imagine. and it happened to me. I have become very pain tolerant since i’ve had RSD. So sometimes i’m able to ignore the pain, but most the time i cant. Its hard having RSD…because i’m limited on what i can do. I’m so young. 17….and my life is basically ruined because of it. all my dreams crushed. Everyday i worry because the doctor said i can be perfectly fine and then i can wake up one morning paralyzed because of RSD and my spondolarthopy [spondylarthropy] combined. The pain is real intense. I’m scared to anything anymore. I was also wondering if anyone else has this…when i do hurt myself just from being clumsy or what not, my injuries take 3x longer to heal than people that get the same exact injury. It never happened to me until i received RSD. Comments
