Ugh.
I have been trying to avoid this, but I am too frustrated not to anymore.
That doesn't make sense.
I am in pain again. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. This time it's in my ankle, which I sprained by jogging on it funny at a gas station on Tuesday on my way home from Mercyhurst. But once it existed in my ankle, my knee started to hurt again, too. But, gee, I can't put on my knee brace because one fourth of it goes AROUND MY ANKLE. However, I can't wear my boot for the ankle because it'd be too much stress ON MY KNEE! And now, from limping all over my Gateway, the BURSITIS in my HIP has started to flame up.
FUCK!!!!
I have no idea what to do. I don't want to use the crutches again, that's such bullshit.
So in searching for some relief to the pain on the RSD Hope website, I came across this:
"At home, Dorthy logged on to her computer to learn all she could. Everything she discovered convinced her that Allison did have RSD, a little-known and often misdiagnosed neurological condition that causes nerves to misfire and send constant pain signals to the brain.
Through organizations like the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association, Dorthy learned that RSD often follows a minor injury. The disease is not fatal, but it is considered the worst of any chronic pain disorder.
There is no cure. Treated early, usually with medication and nerve blocks, remission is possible. Without proper treatment, RSD renders most patients disabled. There is no single test to diagnose RSD. Most doctors never have encountered it, and many are skeptical that it even exists."
That hits home so much. Fuck. My leg temperatures are definitely different, Monica just confirmed it. I'm sick of nothing helping. UGH!
