I fell down an escelator in 2015 and fractured my ankle in 4 places. Had 8 surgeries, a spinal cord stimulator, and tried ketamine infusions (had a REALLY bad reaction) and ended up having my leg amputated below the knee. Then this past December I had a total knee replacement on the other leg. I've been having severe pain in that leg and they can't figure out why. Finally it looks like I may have CRPS. I have every single symptom. It feels really good to finally have a name for the hell I've been going through for so long. I just needed to write it out. I'm basically home/bed bound except for medical appointments. I'm just tired.
