Hi Deb,

Although my circulation is not as bad as yours, I have had my feet

and lower leg turn blue and almost black at times. Mine is related

to the RSD though. I have recently had a spinal cord stimulator

implanted. It doesn't take away all of the pain, but it does help to

keep the level of morphine I take to the same as a year ago. Please

talk with your doctor, or get a second opinion. You should not have

to sit and be so afraid.

I also made the mistake of not posting to the group when I really

needed them most. If there are so many Debs in the group, do what I

did. Just change your online name to something unusual. I am in two

support groups and there is no other " Jaja " in either one.

I know I didn't do much to alleviate your fear. I can only tell you

that you need more than what your doctor is giving you for

information. Please get advice from another. If I had listened to

only one doc, my left foot would be gone and I would be in even more

agony today. Please get help. And know that the wonderful people in

this group are there for you. Keep in touch. Don't make my

mistake. God bless and know that we are all praying for you.

Love, Helen
