I AM TRUELY SORRY THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN AROUND MUCH AS OF LATELY. I AM HAVING SOME MEDICAL PROBLEMS AND IT IS HARD FOR ME TO THINK STRIAGHT.I AM SUFFERING FROM
Hypertension, WHICH IS HIGH BLOOD PRESURE,
NEUROPATHY
Neuropathic pain is usually perceived as a steady burning and/or "pins and needles" and/or "electric shock" sensations and/or tickling. The difference is due to the fact that "ordinary" pain stimulates only pain nerves, while a neuropathy often results in the firing of both pain and non-pain (touch, warm, cool) sensory nerves in the same area, producing signals that the spinal cord and brain do not normally expect to receive.
AND I ALSO HAVE
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome
THIS IS THE WORST OF THEM ALL
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSDS) is a chronic condition characterized by severe burning pain, pathological changes in bone and skin, excessive sweating, tissue swelling, and extreme sensitivity to touch. The syndrome, which is a variant of a condition known as causalgia, is a nerve disorder that occurs at the site of an injury (most often to the arms or legs). It occurs especially after injuries from high-velocity impacts such as those from bullets or shrapnel. However, it may occur without apparent injury.
As the patient reaches stage three, changes in the skin and bones become irreversible, and pain becomes unyielding and may now involve the entire limb. There is marked muscle atrophy, severely limited mobility of the affected area, and flexor tendon contractions (contractions of the muscles and tendons that flex the joints). Occasionally the limb is displaced from its normal position, and marked bone softening is more dispersed.
I AM TRYING TO LEARN TO LIVE WITH ALL THE PAIN AS THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT CAN BE DONE.IT IS KEEPING MY BLOOD PRESURE UP EVEN WITH ALL THE MEDS I AM TAKING.THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
