Re: HI! I'm Lynn..and new here..I have RSD..my story/Lynn

[Guest guest]

Hi Lynn in FL,

I'm sorry you live in such chronic pain and for what caused it. I also have

RSD. I have it head to toe. Mine was originally caused from an inter-tubing

accident when I was 16. My family and I went inter-tubing one winter and I

ended up going so fast on ice at the end of the day, I ended up flying off the

inter-tube landing in such a way I almost severed my spinal cord in my neck. I

had pain from the neck down, which over the years progressively grew worse but

was still livable.

At 23 years old, I injured my left knee at work which triggered the RSD to then

go full blown. I am now 32 years old. I spent years trying to let doctors know

it wasn't all in my head and that something was wrong. I also have Occipital

Neuropathy, Chondromalacia patellae with Bilateral Patella femoral Syndrome in

both knees, PTSD, as well as Panic and Anxiety disorders.

Although I have lived all over the world, I now currently live in southern New

Mexico with my two kitties, one dog, and a room mate. :-)

Anyway, welcome to the group! I'm sorry for what brought you here but am very

glad to meet you! :-)

Love,

Becky in NM
