Long journey

By: Garyt35


6 years ago I had an accident and smashed my ankle I spent 10 months waiting for it to heal doctors saying I'm a slow healer I was on serious pain relief from voltarol to morphine liquid and patches ,codiene etc I also have a heart issue due to a virus and problems with both my hips due to the  way I walk after the accidentDuring all that time I was either being treated for my heart or my legs being told it was a bad break what do I expect it's bound to be painful I still had to work as I did not qualify for assistance when at times I could have done with a break to recover and the feeling that I had to work harder than the younger more able bodied people as well as trying to live a life. Thanks to the way my doctor surgery has become where you don't know who you will see next a young GP had a look at my notes and the state of both my legs and made a diagnosis of CRPS 2 and had this been diagnosed sooner I may have been more pain free without the complications that have come with it .Now you have a name for what is wrong it now makes it easier to research and I also joined a support group on Facebook which is a great help.
