[QUOTE="Star*, post: 202927, member: 4964"] First......breathe. This is a one day at a time diagnoses.....so lets do just that and we'll take it one day at a time with you. (even though we dont' suffer your pain we feel for you) so let's look at what you DO have. 1.) Good friends who will /do understand. 2.) Progressive doctors 3.) An attorney that WILL find something to sue Dr. knownothing over. 4.) A good hubby 5.) Except for RSD - good health which will help 6.) A friend who makes lists for you:raspberry-tounge: not necessarily helpful, but still here for you. 7.) The ability to FIND a good Pain Specialist. DF sees one once a month. While I dont like his choice of doctors and call him Dr. Ahole - I think his name is Awhoal or something like that - I still call him Ahole. I think as a dr. he had some proceedure done to deaden ALL his sensitivity. ALL of it. 8.) This list - no that does NOT count twice.....#6 is a friend who will DO a list...#8 is the list. Separate yet equal. 9.) Your other hand.....huh...aren't we being a little hard on the other hand that is DOING all the work? How about a manicure for the hand that is doing all the work while the injured hand takes a small vacation. 10) SSI? You're thinkin about SSI - OMG I'll send you migraine medicine..you think your pinky hurts? OY...OY....Oy vey! and finally - [URL]http://www.neurologychannel.com/rsd/index.shtml[/URL] This seems to be a good source of information......and do you know what the #1 cause of stress is in unwell patients according to my Doctor? Who is sooooo flaming gay and sings Barry Manilow songs in the hall, while you get a pap - but is just brilliant and has a 10'x6' golden guilded wooden obnoxiously garrish frame with a portrait of his Jack Russell on his office wall? - THE INTERNET........ If you are doing research - then get a book and keep a list of the sites you go to and concerns - and dates.....and ask your doctor about it. Really really! and....last but not least 11.) ......MY HUGEST HUGS - Hang in there - just not by your pinky finger......okay? So lets work on getting a referral for a PT (physical THERAPIST) in SPORTS medicine (I swear they are SO much more informed) and get a PAIN MANAGEMENT DOCTOR lined up - one call does it all.....hugs AND IF I HAVE TO I WILL COME BACK HERE AND YELL AT YOU....lol. :winking: [/QUOTE]
