Debra, join the club. I also have been recently diagnosed with RSD 6 mos Post-OP, and its miserable, I get swelling along with pain, I have to watch the weather, the barametric pressure changes are murder on my knee. I feel like this has totally put me behind in my recovery, and Iam now going to see a neurologist, who will probably order an EMG (YOUCH!!!) And Iam NOT sure i want to do this test, I
have been thru AGONY with my kr recovery, its still so stiff, and tender, you cant touch it all around the cap, and it always looks bruised blue, I have been thru all the PT, Pool therapy, home exercises, it just never sprung back. Iam trying to get back to my reg. regime, but the dang knee is misbehavin. gettin all swollen before I even hit the store! Is this how long it takes to be normal after a knee replacement? I dread going shopping, because I cant tolerate beng on my feet too long,my knee starts swelling, getting achy, telling me to get off, it makes it so uncomfortable,I feel like Iam dragging the leg around by the end of the day, I cant wait to get home, and driving is agony, the leg feels so heavy ( right) its hard to change pedals, ( stop&go) I cant climb down stairs, I dont trust it going up, it always feels weak and achy, I dont trust it to put weight on it. and I live in a tri level home.So stairs are a way of life. I can only live with this awful RSD, I try to get along in the day, and try to get past this. If you know a better way, let me know. Thanks Laura, an RSD sufferer too.
