Yesterday was one of my more painful days where nothing seemed to help. I changed the program on my stimulator 2 times hoping for some relief but ended coming back to my normal favorite setting in the end. I've noticed that the RSD/CRPS has definitely spread its way up into my hip which has now made walking more difficult then it already was but what I didn't expect was the extra troubles it was gonna cause me. My trip to the grocery store yesterday became more trouble-some because it was even harder to push the weight of the cart with my hip hurting, it was bad enough when it was just my foot and leg but now the hip too. Coming back up my stairs was a killer when I got home also, I never realized how much your hips impact your everyday life. Sleep...funny, I wish I was able to really get some. The nights have to be the worst, all pain seems to be at its peak then and mine sure was last night. I can't have anything touching my darn leg, not even a sheet or it makes extra pain, then I can't lean to my left because the hip hurts so bad or the pressure on the leg makes me insane. RSD/CRPS really sucks and to know it's here and here to stay is a very scary thought.
