Re: not coping

i have spent close to 4 grand so far and over 50 appointments in the last few months @Eve7 its ridiculous and to have found out this big fancy specialist who i went to before my new one im sticking with now has actually made it worse by doing the procedure wrong! so im not happy about that at all. it was more isolated to my foot before but now its my entire leg because of him and it may actually be in my neck-which would explain why nothing has helped that either and no tests have shown anything either. its felt like its been in my head but not in my head.
CRPS is also known as the suicides disease and now i can understand exactly why that is.

Re: not coping

thanks @Eve7 if i can proove he made it worse im considering asking for my 3 grand back that i spent there on the treatments etc. im not to happy about it. i was reassured the worsening pain and the side effects that nearly put me in hospital when i had his injections he done would be fine after a week and yet nearly 2 months down the track its getting worse not better. my entire nervous system including central and peripheral nervous systems are both stuffed up now and is usually irreversible at this point in time

Re: not coping

Yes I have @outlander It can actually get better in a lot of cases over time but in the first instance there is no real 'cure' - I hope that it is the case for you that over time it improves.

Re: not coping

It sounds like you deserve more than 3 grand back from him @outlander although I imagine it will be hard to prove

Re: not coping

ive been told by a few specialists that at this point as its not responded to any treatments it wont be 'cured' so to speak but there are a few pain management options i could try but they all seem awfully expensive @Zoe7

Re: not coping

proving anything medically is so hard @Eve7 ior they make you sign forms that basically say you cant sue them. thats why i couldnt do anything about how much damage the dentist cause that is also permanent. just stuck in that spot.

Re: not coping

I had accupuncture for my arm when the specialist thought it was the same thing as you have @outlander It turned out not to be thankfully but I understand that extreme pain. I was very hesitant to have accupuncture but it made a world of difference - might be something to look into. There is laser accupncture available now so if you are inclined to have an issue with needles there is an alternative.

Re: not coping

You can be lucky sometimes @outlander . You just need a clever lawyer which, of course, costs more $$ but if you get the right lawyeryou can get a fair and just outcome.
