CRPS

Wow it has been a loooong time since the last post!

A lot of things have happened over the last couple of years, some good, and some bad. One GOOD thing is that I was finally approved for Social Security. Man has that made life better! Was able to replace the car, and other things we sold or lost over the years we were trying to get approved for Social Security Disablity.

The RSD/CRPS has spread, but nothing I cant handle

One of the things that has me confuddled is the way doctors pick and choose what they are going to try to fix on me. I get told conflicting things from every new doctor I see. I have been told by surgeons I have RSD, then get told by specialists that it may not be RSD. They think it is from a bad disk in my back. Sure there is a bad disk, but how can I explain that is just one piece of the puzzle problem?

Things are getting interesting now. Now they are sending me to a surgeon! Yep, a neurosurgeon, going to see of they can fix the lower back. This should prove very interesting, and I hope it takes away one aspect of pain I wont have to deal with anymore. Too bad they cant just cut pain out like they do with cancerous stuff. Wouldnt that be great! Just go get the RSD cut out!

To bad that isnt an option because I know quite a few people that would go for that option just so they could get their old lives back. Life isnt what it used to be for me, but I have learned to deal with the pain over the years, and actually look forward to waking up most of the time. I sure hope that all of my RSD friends find the place in their walk with RSD/CRPS, when they can enjoy life as much as they can while dealing with one of the most painful diseases on earth.
