Re: I am desperate for any help I can get...

[Guest guest]

 

please look up www.rsds.org.Sound like you might have RSD from

the dishes falling on your feet.Can get rsd from a thing like that happening. It

is very painful and most can't put any weight at all

on their feet. I have it in one foot.

You need to find a doctor that knows about RSD. Not a lot of doctors know what

it is. Ask before you go if the doctor treats RSD. PLEASE look up  American RSD

hope website too.You will find the help you need on both these sites.

I will post tomorrow a group that all have RSD and you can talk with them one to

one.They are on Facebook i cant remember the name but will look it up for you

and post it.I have had for 6 years so i know what you are going through.

about 4 days which I know I overdid BUT.

for several days and was sent home with more pain pills, which I really need

now, and instructions on exercise and an antibiotic.  They said there might be

some infection in my feet.

at all, I can barely transfer to and from my bed.  I have been standing,

stretching, and massaging when I can, I have some cream that is supposed to ease

the pain when rubbed on but it doesn't seem to help.

I can hear your pain in your posting. I agree with the suggestion about a

specialist.

I can suggest that you check out this website; butyoudon'tlooksick.com

It is a great site for chronic illnesses. I know I have seen posting from

others with a similar problem. There is a category on chronic pain that might

provide more information.

I hope you get some relief soon. Sending big gentle hugs, Tami

Listen to them, it takes me THREE weeks to get back where I felt where I was and

I happen to have a swollen right foot now. I steamed cleaned a 2,000 bottom

part of my house, the upholstery, poop pick up and the big no no, lifted a push

around air conditioner. I am so sorry you are hurting but follow the directions

of your Doctor. Mine was the 29th on my birthday.

Spasms and pulled muscles especially with what you have hurts just as much if

not more than a break. I like the Tiger Balm shoulder cream, it seems to help

me.

Take care please and let us know how you are getting along. Ask your Doctor if

you can get your insurance to help home health. Bennie
