I started bringing it up and thats when I got put on the Oxycontin. Seems as though I would still have "phantom" sensations and the amputation won't do squat to stop the signals. I may have to have an amputation down the road but its highly doubtful. It is my understanding that with my RSD/CRPS being so localized to the toe and forefoot that I will likely not have to worry about getting a prothetic and whatnot. Its the kind of nerve condition one has to just learn to live with and hope for the best. Everyone wants me to get on SSI but I can't stomach not working doing something.misfit wrote:has amputation been discussed. ?...

True.
People are freaks that way. SSI is basically agreeing to be poor for the rest of your life; not a pretty picture if you can avoid it. I think that some of it comes from people not really being ablt to get thier minds around the fact that disability is totally normal.Toolmaker wrote:Everyone wants me to get on SSI but I can't stomach not working doing something.

Misfit, not sure if your being sarcastic here or offering a viable solution.misfit wrote:has amputation been discussed. ?...
Not being at all familiar with this nerve condition I wonder if that would accomplish anything or if it would just make the pain move up the nerve a bit, not to mention phantom pains. FWIW I broke my big toe once, and learned just what a roll the big toe plays in walking. Has Botox been discussed for treatment yet?
Excuse me Ma'am, your going to feel a small prick.
