Well where do I begin. I am 31 and was diagnosed with RSD about 1 yr ago in my left ankle. My injury happened 28 yrs ago but back then they told me that all of my leggaments had been torn, so that was the story up until one year ago. 1 yr ago exactly, the pain was so severe that my ankle swelled to the size of a watermellon and turned blue. I attend physiotherapy three times a week.
Treatment is horrible but does help afterwards for a day or so.
I take Talwin 50mg every six hours. Sometimes it helps for awhile but never for six hours. I sometimes take two tablets and that does bring some extra relief to start with but even that doesn't last for six hours. I am at the end of my rope. I have been seen by seven orthopaedic surgeons who all agreed that I have RSD but treated me for my frozen shoulder.
