Thank you for your kind words. I know what you mean about the whole foot thing, I probably really should see my doctor. My feet are getting worse. I have no arch anymore which makes heels hard for me. One of my ankles is weird...like I don't even know how to explain it. My foot is farther out than my ankle sort of, I don't really know how to describe what it looks like, but it is a really weird angle. I never even realized it could be my RSD causing it. I don't know what I thought it was but I was never really worried too much. It hurts but what else is knew. My knees turn in now and both of my feet turn in too much. So yeah, I really don't like wearing shoes. I have to for school obviously but I take them off the minute I get home. I don't like how they feel against my skin. Anyways I got custom arch supports last year but I don't know that they're helping. I'll have to look into getting those gel things for my shoes, can you get them anywhere? I know what you mean about wide feet. I don't know if my feet are wide, or if the whole weird ankle thing makes them wider, but it seems like shoe's are always fine length wise, but they're too tight width wise. That's why I'm having a hard time driving shoes that don't have a tall heel and aren't too narrow. Anyways I'm just rambling now, and I have way too much hw this weekend so I should start working. |

Hi there my dear..... It is not any kind of fun at all to deal with. I did not think of it being rsd or ms till I showed the dr what going on.. Felt weird n was really hard too walk with the back issues that I dealing with anyways.... Dr said o dear.... Arches are being broken n toes are turning also dealing with hammer toes.. Get it all corrected ,,,, asap. We have too take care of what we can... And do all that we can... Foot dr will tell you to get into new balance shoes. They are only ones that has the fitted form on shoe too give balance in back n legs. Only ones,,, high priced,,, yes,,,, but also can get on sale,,,, k mart has them all time... But,,, go into a regular shoe store,,, find the correct size n width... That was alot of my problem. Then too find that my width has to be special ordered new balance is only shoe that does make that size so far that I know. yes,, ankle is weird,,,,, really weird one.. Not know how too explain the difference in neither. garuantee,,,, it not comfortable,,, when swollen,,, n foot swollen also having too walk n wear shoes all day... That swelling is down n lost less wearing proper shoes all day ... being able too lift foot n keep up above tailbone level in recliner n in bed both.. Helps greatly.... heheeee,,,,, have too get new shoes n prostethesis in shoes now cause of all the weight loss n new sizing in foot... Nice to have happen that is for sure... Width has not changed much at all tho.. MS n RSD all affected mine... Hope that this encourages you to get this checked out.. And taken care of.. Feet are carrying alot of impact n weight in them... We loose we loose alot when feet not cared for... Huggzzz dear,,,, Annie |

Hey Everyone, Michelle here, I live in Pa in a wonderful little town called White Haven, and I love it. I'm in the mountians with all kinds of wildlife. I absolutely love it. We're currently renting and saving money so that we can build on the over an acre of land that we own. Hopefully within a year or two that will be happening. Here's hoping. Michelle I should post some of my pictures. maybe I will when I can. |

Hi, I'm in Northern California where the girls are warm. Just had my last ECT treatment, and am lifting weights, swimming, biking, fishing, and everything else I couldn't do before. My doctor has taken away the pain for RSD patients besides me, and along with God, I have come through shining. Sylvia |

Hi Sylvia, Could you tell me how many of these treatments you required to get relief? My pain specialist has never recomended this treatment and I have just recently heard about it myself. Also if you know, is this something Medicare will pay for or is it considered experimental? Thanks Frank |
