Hello everyone, My name is Donna and ive been living in constant pain since November 20 2003,at about 1:15 pm.I was walking outside at work when i slipped and fell and shattered my left ankle.My surgery was posponed 18 hrs because a car accident came in right before me at the hospital. I broke my tib ,fib,talles plus had 8 more fractures all around my ankle.Ive had seven surgeries and the last one my doc. put a steele rod up into my tibia and about 8 screws as well.My ankle joint is fused now and that helped some what with the pain so i could walk.Ive been diagnosed with depression,cronic pain,complex regional pain syndrome,and to boot my doc. fused my foot 15 degrees pointing down. So now i have to walk with my air cast on or i just cant walk.,Its like walking on your tippy-toes. Well enough about that ,im just in major pain that never ends.Im married 25 years this past july,i also have 3 kids and a beautiful cocapoo dog.Thank you for reading my story and i look foreward to meeting new friends that REALLY understand what im going through.
Hey broken bones, Welcome to our chronic pain site.All of us here REALLY do understand what you are going through.I've been in chronic pain now for almost 11 years.I've had 5 lumbar surgeries.Because of all the surgeris I now have scar tissue encased around the nerve roots.Nerve pain is something else.I hope this site helps you as much as it has helped me.Have a low pain day.
