Do Things get better
by: sissy
on Mon, May 19 2008
Hi, I am a 44 y/o female. I was given the news a few months ago that I have RSD. I am a nurse and never heard of RSD until I had an injury from work. I was helping a CNA to move an Pt from bed to an shower chair when the chair came up and landed on my foot. I now am no longer working due to fact I can not stand up for long periods of time. I am not sure if I am disable or not. I just know that I can no longer due what I love and that is to take care of people in need. Now I am in need. The burning, swelling, and blue marks on my foot are more than I can stand at time. I also noted that I have been sweating a lot more then ever. Has anyone had this problem? I feel depressed most days, and at time I feel sorry for myself.
Thanks for listening to my rammbling.

Hi, I am a 47-year-old female who had a radical mastectomy in 2004 (breast and lymph node removal) on the left side. I was warned to be careful with my left arm (not have blood pressures, needle sticks, etc.) and really had no problems until last fall (2007) when I tripped going up a few steps and banged into the door jam with my left arm.
