I got RSD when I had a hand injury while in my last moldy house. It started out like a few fingers were damaged and one finger fractured. They wanted to operate but didn't think I was a good candidate because of my other illnesses and so frail. So they put a splint on it and sent me to therapy. He wanted me to go every day but I had just lost my car due to a thing against my landlord and us about the mold and other stuff. We didn't pay rent cause we remodeled the whole house and the guy backed out of deal. Anyway I couldn't go to therapy every day because I didn't have a ride everyday, so I had to go 3 times a week. When I went back to the doctor he didn't like how it was coming along and he changed the place of therapy and I went to a place that could pick me up every day. The doctor had determined that I had RSD. My ring finger and pinky can't straighten out even after therapy for a year. Anyway the doctor did get it early and I started going to the hospital and getting spinal injections in my front of my neck. Right by my throat. I had to get 10 spinal injections throughout the year. Luckily I had great insurance at the time. So I would get a spinal injection and they would get me back to the therapy and the doctor would work on it. It kind of numbs you hand somewhat. But sometimes you loose your voice for a day after the injection. Some people do suffer RSD in their spine and the other arm. It can spread if not caught on time. My hand looks just like the pictures you see on the internet if you look it up. So I can use the hand some but I can't cut very good now so my husband does most of the cooking, since I also get ill from the smell of food. Sucks, Ha. So it does still hurt but not all the time. Mostly now when I type too much or when I am exposed to something. Hope this gives you some info. If you would like more, I am here. Guess I should get this appendix checked. Thanks again, I love you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
