hi i'm ericka,
i have tried a pain clinic.it had physical thep. and occupational thep. a dr. and
a health and behavior group. i got alittle help from the occ. thep and health and
behav.like how to relax . but over all it did not help so much. i am now going to
a gym to do what they taught me. i am down for a day or two after. no real
help yet.most day's i just do what i can and hope that the next day is better
i have learn that stressing out over it makes it worse.i just tell my self that i
did nothing to deserve this and i will not let this take my life. i hope you are
doing better. it took them over a year to find out i had rsd. i have had a total
of 7 nerve blocks they did not work. so i went to the nerve stimulator for
me that was a mistake. i have a muddled brain. i can't move my left leg when i want
to. i can't feel when i have to go to the bathroom. it helps very little with the pain
and my back is a hundred times worse. the battery sticks out so you can see a lump
in my shirt. i can't sleep with it on well what little sleep i get. every morning i think
i have to do this all over again. it is hard but it will get better. i am lucky to have
a wonderful husband and mom and dad. they keep me going.
feel better
