Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 , Yea, I also had no injuries except for minor sprains but they all healed properly and had no problems... I had gotten the cortisone shot for a neuroma and then the pain was just really bad after that so i knew something was wrong cause cortisone shots are supposed to make the pain better not worse so i started seeing doctors and eventually got diagnosed with rsd cause I had all the symptoms...

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Hi Chrystine, I don't know if I got RSD from the shots, but I do know I had no other injury in my foot. Dr. asked me that a couple of times, and I can't think of a thing except an ankle sprain in my early teens (I am in my 40's now). So my conclusion is that if this is from an injury, that has to be it, huh? Since I've had a high number of them (5 in less than 1 1/2 years) maybe that's it. Did you have plantar fasciitis too? I still have to deal with *that* too! argg. Plus all the hip and back 'misalignments' caused by protecting the RSD foot. I'm partly cloudy/mostly achey most days Also, anyone else here dealing with osteoarthritis? I was diagnosed with this in my hand last year (no RSD symptoms). Genetically, I am bound for arthritis, it runs rampant in my family (osteo only that I am aware of). I was 40 when I was diagnosed. Kinda young, but not all that uncommon. I have that too, to deal with, along with the RSD. RSD, hands down, is the worst though. > , > > Hi!!! My name is Chrystine, I am 20 years old and from NJ...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 What city in Central Texas do you live in and is there a Komen Affiliate there? If you will give me the name of the town, I can tell you that. If there is one, you can call them and they can point you in the right direction for a free mammogram.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Pam finding something can mean many things. First let me ask you, do you drink lots of caffeine. That can cause fat calls to cling to it. It you stop drinking it, it will go away. It also can be something that they just want to watch, either way we will be here to support you. I will be praying that it is something simple like the caffeine. Hugs Jeana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Marie, there is a stage iv group also, it was set up from members of this group so that they might talk about their treatments and so forth. You might want to join that group as well. Lots of the ladies belong to both this the parent group and the stage iv. I wish you all the luck with your treatments and hope that they are successful. If you have any questions about your treatments one of the ladies in stage iv could probably answer as they are all on different chemos. They also have various cancers lung bone mets etc. Look forward to talking with you here. Hugs Jeana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Hi Lucilla, thank you for your prayers, very kind of you!! I, for one, am not a good candidate for herbal treatments at this time...I have friends that are in the Alternative Medicine Profession. I had tried it at one point, but my cancer markers increased. I truly will consider complimentary treatments if all else fails. I apreciated the advice. God Bless.
