my life with crps/rsd so far
I have been living with this now for 2 years now, as of the third of this month. my dr diagnosed me earlier this year, and i have been to several specialists, but only one did not rule this condition out, instead, he told me that i must feel like im going out of my mind, never more truer words spoken!since i was injured in 08, i re excasabated my old injury at work by lifting a` bucket of soap powder, weight aprox 5 kg. i was very rushed this shift, and i would never have lifted it with my left hand if i hadn't been, as i was always very conscious of what i could and could not do with it. i always had a certain amount of pain, and other sensations in my arm, only the severity of the symptoms changed. if i was rostered on for 2-3 days or more in a row, i would end up with chronic pain. i was going to go and see my gp about it, but didn't feel i would be taken seriously, as the symptoms kept changing, and moving. but as fate would have it, i had no choice in the end, and was forced to do it anyway. nobody much beleived me at work, especially my supervisor, they thought i was a bung on to get out of work. i wish.!!!! since then, it was made perfectly clear to me that i would have no light duties given to me when i was able to return to work, and as it turns out , i have been forced to leave my job anyway, because of my injury. since then , the condition has moved, it is now in my shoulkders, my neck, my chest, my back from just below my shoulder blades, up to my neck, and into my right arm down to just below my arm pit. i have an array of different symptoms, which i will post , i am seeing more specialists today, so i'm hoping i get better treatment this time. will keep you posted, and will post symptoms when i'm back. love to all M
