Has anyone broken a bone in their crps limb?

I want to be clear, I'm not talking about getting crps from a fracture or a cast. There ia lots of information abpit that but I really can't find any about fracturing, for me, my first site of crps.

I've had crps since I was 24, 1979.I woken from my 3rd back surgery with a bright red, swollen, burning up left foot. The disks had all been on the left.

I fell 8 weeks ago. I've basically had zero treatment. I've gone from a small almost just a crack in the 5th metatarsal near my little toe, thru 4 incompetent drs, and landed at a podiatrists office with a major fracture - displaced with a sharp piece of bone digging into tissue. The bones are also now disconnected. They weren't at the start. And I need surgery but nobody will touch me because of the crps - or drs pretend to know all about it but its very clear they don't have a clue. And their lies have made it worse. Now screws etc.

I've had a massive reawakenimg and spread which was my worst fear. You know I'm so tired of me in 4 different boots (that medicare won't pay for. So many xrays with each one showing it getting worse and worse.

There is a lot more to say but I've never felt so 71 in my life. Using my desk chair to get around my condo. I live alone. I have like 5 weeks worth of dishes in my.sink. more later. I'm so exhausted with life.

Ill just say at tbe 4 week mark, my.last xrays, it had not healed AT ALL. Dr says he doesn't expected it to heal because if demineralization and decrease blood supply. It has to be unhealed for 3 months before medicare will pay for a. bone stimulator. My whole leg is burning now. More later. I'm so disgusted. The plan noe is surgery at Duke (4 hours away.) No services to help me get there. They have a 1 week admission with ketamine 3 days preop and 3 days postop. And a nerve block via a cannula behind my knee left in for 3 or 4 days.

But each week goes by, and I try not to walk on my broken foot but I live alone, don't qualify for medicaid, and I'm totally disgusted with life. I'm tired. I've also had a spread to both hands because I have 4 locking trigger fingers. I had to cancel trigger finger surgery because I need my.hands to put the boot on and off.

Would a knee scooter help you get around? I used one when I had bunion surgery and could not put any weight on my foot.
