To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download My life with RSD Hi all I am a 20 year old female and I attend Nassau community college and studying criminal justice (Forensic Science). I had a major knee surgery when I was 14, everything seemed to be okay until one morning I woke up with sting sharp pain. Sometimes it feels like there is a lighter being put to my leg. Other times it feels like its frozen. Also feels like a knife is stabbing my leg. Also I cant where jeans sometimes because of the pain and sometimes cant have a blanket touch my leg. I’m on all the heaviest pain medicine nothing helps at all. Now I am 20 and still have RSD all from knee surgeries I had so many that lost count. But every time I go for surgery my RSD goes crazy. Also the weather, rain and snow kill my leg to the point I miss class. My leg changes color and the hair on my leg grows different and my toe nails are brittle. I been thrown over 20 spinal blocks, bier blocks, iv drops and nothing helps. I also had a spinal epidural for 5 days in my back and that didn’t help at all. One dry even went as far to say go to Mexico or Germany and be put in a coma for a week. Imp only 20 that is crazy. No one seems to understand what I am going through even the drs because I have the RSD pain and pain in the knee and back of knee from all of my surgeries. Maybe someone can help me out I been through this is was 14 now 20 and still in worse pain. Please help Thank you Tiffany Comments
