[QUOTE="Shari, post: 202866, member: 1848"] Stella, *** Please remember that the vast majority of folks posting on the boards are probably NOT going to be the people who's lives haven't been drastically affected by this disease. You're probably reading worst case scenarios. *** I was told I had RSD when I was 28, after knee surgery. It took a long while to find a doctor to treat it accordingly, but when I finally found a doctor to deal with the symptoms that I had instead of what I "should" or "shouldn't" have, my daily functioning improved drastically. He used a combination of anti-inflammatories, steroids, and pain medications, all taken daily whether I "needed" them or not, to break the cycle, and it worked. I still have pain, sometimes swelling, but I beleive the pain I have now is simply from the arthritis. *** Anyway, try not to panic. Find a good doctor who will truly work with you where you're at. I think they can do a lot for your quality of living. *** Hugs. You are in my prayers. [/QUOTE]
