Hi! My Name is Chrystine and I am 18 years old.
In July of 98, I started having pain in my foot up near my toes so my
pediatrician decided I should go see a podiatrist so I did see. I went and saw a
Dr. Bender, he thought I had
a neuroma so he tried pills first but when that didn't work he suggested surgery
or a cortisone injection. I opted for the cortisone injection since I am afraid
of surgeries.
The cortisone injection was done in July of 98 and from that
day on, my life hasn't been the same. I went to see numerous docs after
that day because since the day of the injection the pain just kept getting
worse. I didn't go
back to school in the fall, I was instead enrolled in homebound schooling. I
went to physical therapy and took many meds and then my one doctor said it was
RSD, I then searched online and started talking to people with rsd, I
don't know where I would be without them. Just recently after two years
they finally tried a LSB, it didn't help. So at the present moment I am just
waiting for my doctor to give me something for the pain. Over the 2 years+ that
I have had it, It has also spread to my right foot and both hands.
