Thank you for tonights thread Ms Lauren.
Good evening, everyone.
I have not been here much, I have been having a lot of pain in my knee and lower back.
The good news is, I don’t need a knee replacement (at least not now)
The not so good news, is I have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.
That is when the brain receives too many pain impulses, and overwhelms the body with pain from those signals.
Something goes awry in the brain.
The Doctor gave me this to help me understand it better:
“The major characteristic of reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is severe pain and great sensitivity of the affected limb to even the slightest touch. RSD is a relatively uncommon problem that can follow trauma, surgery, or any painful condition. The inciting event can be very minor, and is usually disproportionate to the reaction that follows it. The “sympathetic” portion of the name implies that the autonomic nervous system plays a role in the development of RSD.
In addition to severe pain, associated with a burning sensation and great sensitivity, the affected extremity (usually a hand or foot, rarely the entire extremity) may be swollen, warm, red, and excessively sweaty in the beginning. In some patients the affected limb may be cold and bluish in the beginning. The patients protect the affected limb, avoiding moving it and touching objects with it. In time, the hand or foot may become cold and dry, and the swelling becomes hard. Eventually, after 3 to 12 months, the skin becomes thin (atrophic) and appears smooth and shiny. The underlying muscles also become atrophic, and the limb cannot extend (stretch) all the way because of scarring down of the muscles and tendons, called flexion contracture.
Also important is that the bones of the limb eventually lose mineral that is, they become osteoporotic.”
It is believed that this stems from the bad arthritis and surgery in that knee.
so...
Meds have been adjusted, (and I’m a bit loopy right now) and PT might be needed..
It’s always something!
