rsd and me

i have suffered from r.s.d now for the past 12 years i had a small accident on my arm and hit the nerve on my upper arm .

this trunned in to rsd . the pain come frist then the change in coul and then the coldness the buzzing feeling the awful blueinto my hand my fingers buzzed and i was told i had r.s.d

when i was told about this i had nerve blocks done then i went and had a sympathectomy for 3 months i had a lovely warm hand then one day i told the sergon it had gone back he count belive it had.

he then sent me back to my doctor who then sent me to pain manament clinc at the hospital

i then had a inplant pump wow all this for what i have wrong people use to say what do you call that thing you have again. r.s.d

lots of people dont know how this does affect’s your life on a daliy basis

the pain alone comes and goes and you see your fingeres sometimes feel like there going into a claw and are bending in over
your hand is blue and your fingers are to

is this some thing else i have to look forward to

all this for a bang on the arm from a door locker at work ,,,,

the next thing i was told about was a stomach pump that i may require
in years to come for the morpine i take that daly now with many more drugs as well

as this does leave you with just more than the one problem when you start trying to get well

you find it hard to trust when you have had treatments that have gone wrong

my advice to any one with r.s.d like me
youll have it for life as it will never go away
so try to make the best of it
