I think it might be time to go to a different doctor for at least a second and maybe third opinion. Apparently this doctor is missing something and you can't continue to live you life like that.
Ok went there, swollen as anything @ 10:00 am this morning. People can't believe i have dealt with this the last 7 months. Doc does his exam reflexes watches me walk (or more like stump around) does EMG and then a muscle test .... everything shows normal.
How is it that it can possibly show normal WHEN I CANT ROTATE MY ANKLE!?!? The doc has to physically move my ankle left, right, up and down with me shrieking and crying in pain>?
What now>? Oh and he did laugh at the previous comment :>)
LOL
Keep us posted on what the docs say
I would just figure that an MRI or Bone scan triple phase would have identified that but I dont have a degree so its certainly worth asking. I do have an appointment with a Neuro tomorrow and an EMG. I am hoping it shows something just to have an answer and know what i have to do to get better.
I had an episode the other day (and this might be TMI) but my BF and I were engaged in intimacy and when I peaked (you know how the toes will point) well i think it was the farthest that my foot has pointed in 7 months. The pain completely over claimed the moment and I almost fainted. It was horrible!!! Of course the BF wanted to take claim to the glory and think he did it to me, but from then till now, walking has become next to impossible. Now how do I explain this one tomorrow ... lol.
The reason I asked about infection is because the sprain may have caused an infection in your foot that has progressed. As obsured as that sounds simple things like that have happened and people didn't realize it and it got out of control. How exactly it would have happened I don't know, something torn inside your foot released something into your system... Don't rule out the impossible or obsured. Like I said it could be caused by such a little thing as an infection that has gone undiagnoised and untreated.
These problems happened immediately following my injury. It seems like they are progressing now where im losing feeling in my foot and having almost electrical like feelings in the back of my ankle and toes. The twitching is pretty new (about 2 weeks) but the pain has never gone away.
Is it possible that you have an infection of some kind? Bone infection, infection from the glass, splinter, bug bite,...? I can't believe that they wouldn't have tested for an infection of some sort, but you never know. Besides RSD, I don't know what it could be and you already had RSD tests.
