Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 2 bulls got me under a gate crushed my leg and shattered my knee. They reconstucted my knee because of my age. The doc is a pain specialist and yes he does flip flop my meds every 3 months. I have an appointment next tuesday to be fitted with a brace because my knee gives out so often. Because of the weight of the bulls and the way the gate came up my leg was like a giant sgueegee. The deterioration of the muscles are why they don't think they can keep the leg after so long. I have talked to doc about the morphine pump but he says my blood pressure is the culprit at this time. so we are taking measures to rid the problem. Thanks cannot be said enough about this group and the commaradery. Todd ---lori.renfroe wrote: >Todd, >May I ask what was the circumstances that made the RSD develop in your leg? Why would your doctor say that you may lose your leg in 5- 10 years? Is the doctor a pain specialist? >Have you tried a spinal column stimulator or a morphine pump? Those are other options out there.
