I guess its been about a week since my last update but I haven't been given any updates either. I'm starting to feel like it's a whole lot of hurry up and wait going on, the only problem with that is my pain doesn't seem to wait for treatment. Although I feel like a chronic whiner about the aches and pains this is a chronic pain diary right, a place where I can let it go. The swelling was very uncomfortable the other day so much so my shoe really didn't fit no matter how many times I unloosened the laces. I also noticed that the water in the shower again caused what looked like a blood type blister, where the force or temperature of the water brought the blood right to the skin and made that part of my shower painful. Let me not even go into shaving...I'm thankful it's not summer right not because shaving is painful, yeah painful. The best way I can describe it is to say it's like pressing something way to hard down into my leg and going back and forth.
Summer is going to good and bad, good because I can wear shorts and that will alleviate the sensitivity issues from the pants on my leg, but bad because I will have to shave. I will have to say the RSD has slowed down the way the rate of the hair on my legs does grow, so I guess that to is a small plus. I will have to wait to see if the sun this summer effects how I feel, it will be different this year as last summer the RSD was mostly contained from my foot to my calf and now this year it will be the whole entire leg effected. Well only time and the summer sun will tell.
