Re: Me

[Guest guest]

Dear Lori, Since I am new on this board I wasn't sure about the

explanation of two Lori's. I did look in the bio file after reading

your post and realized that there is another Lori although like I

said I am new and just getting to know all of you.

The year you had the major car accident was the same year I

developed RSD from a horse accident. Once again I am heartbroken to

read of such pain and sorrow. I hope that this group has been

helpful to you in the past and takes a bit of the isolation away at

times. I know you don't know me but I still want to invite you to

email me directly if you would like to continue OR of course

continue posting on the board as well. We are all in this together

and are here to help each other manage.........

With love and caring, Lyn

other Lori came in I was already here. I was in Major car accident

in 94 which actually started all of my problems. Even the orthopod

even had in his notes " RSD? " Even while he was telling me it was all

in my head. That I just Wanted the drugs, ant then there was yu are

just lazy and don't want to go back to work. What he didnt realize

was that he had missed a Lisfranc Disruption,or that the bones in my

mid foot had been shoved together broken and were not even close to

how they should be. Not to mention the small bone chips in my hip

joint from the impact. There was also teh small problem of my lower

back and a closed headinjury they missed. You would have thought

the 2 maxillary fractures, upper jaw, would have led them to that.

I have been through 2pain clinics 3-4 orthopods, 2 physical med

docs, oral surgeons, ENT specialist, Psycheiatrists, Therapists,

Physical therapists, More than 9 surgeries (most of

fused twice, untold varities of x-rays, ER visits to break Pain

Crisis. Please realize that this is the short version. Have 2

daughters with type 1 Diabetes, an Alcoholic Ex, since 2001. Live

in Michigan, have no true support system as have been cut off from

family, mine because of ex, his because of him. Been through what

most of you speak of, yet get to deal with Workers Comp. who can and

will put you in dispute for any reason, even if just missed a Doc.

appt. Do have my SSD, have had since 96. When I applied they went

back a few years. Though I can't use my Medicare or Medicaid for

anything related to my Comp case as this would be fraud. I do have

Carple Tunnle in both hands which makes using cane difficult and

unfortunately fell almost 2 mos. ago when left leg disappeared on

me. Hit it just right so that I have to keep it immobilized,or may

be facing surgerie, which may mean loss of right hand from now on,

> this has really kept me shut in, since whenever I use my cane

makes my entire arm wakes up,from fingers to right side of scalp.

it or not.
