I was diagnosed with RSD last October, my injury occured in August. Very sprained wrist turned into RSD. I've been in pain constant since it happened fortunately I married a wonderful man who is sticking with me through all of my moods :). I played guitar and was into Kobudo (japanese weapons form martial arts), and Aiki JuJitsu (pressurepoints and submission). I can no longer do these things due to the pain. My doctor told me to only do things that make me happy and to not get stressed out about anything - yeah right as if that can actually happen!! I'm trying more treatments (pills pills pills) and hoping that I will get better. There are no support groups in Lincoln Nebraska where I'm from so the internet is all I've got. The only problem with that is I only have internet at work. Yes I'm working - barely. |
