Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry to hear about how your injury occurred and I hope there are some at home exercises that might promote some strength? I know it can be difficult. For some odd reason, I find exercise helps with my pain syndrome. I also started reading about UV light therapy used to regenerate cells and accelerate healing. I'm going to try it when I find a good source of UV light. Yesterday I got my 4th injection and for the first time I've felt more relief from my pain since before the injury even occurred. Sympathetic nerve block injections are painful but necessary if the pain you experiencing is overcoming your quality of life. I can relate to the swelling in your foot, and sorry to hear that it's gotten to the point where it's your whole left side. Contrast baths reduce the swelling by desensitizing the nerves that are misbehaving. I hope you find a remedy soon. Have you gotten in touch with pain management or physical therapy? Those two in combination are very important to start early on per what my doctors have relayed to me, and the longer you wait, the longer it will take to reverse. Good luck 🙂
