Intro


This is my first journal entry. I had a personal blog on AOL journals and since they were closing down, i moved it to here. While I was at it, I decided to make a blog for the condition I have called RSD. I fractured my ankle in may of 2007, which led me to getting RSD. I was on crutches for 3 months, by the time I was off them, I was using a brace and my left foot was turned ot to the side 24/7. PT wasn't helping so we decided to go to Children's Hospital, I tried PT there and didn't make much progress. They suggested I try there 2-week boot camp therapy program. I did, I was able to walk again.(This was in Marh of 08) The doctor said I would be fine, and didn't even want a follow up. In June, we went for a check up anyway, the doctor thought more PT would help. From July-August of 2008 I had more PT. I was casted for orthotics and told they would help my pain, I am still adjusting to them. I go to school, which is hard while having RSD. I will write more later.
