@lorirenee1 had to chime in. I get orthotics to lessen the pain of walking. The first time I saw the podiatrist he was rude when I mentioned my sciatica and told me orthotics wouldn’t help and that it definitely wasn’t plantar fasciitis. A year later I went back for orthotics and he said even cushioning might help the pain. You see, he had a brief bout of sciatica recently and he said the pain was unbearable
That is the mixed blessing of having something as torturous as CRPS, nobody can comprehend what we experience unless they go through it or a piece of it.
I gave up feeling sorry for myself a long time ago. It has no purpose... no end game. It simply breeds destruction and I have enough of that to live with. I may even be able to practice as a pharmacist if it wasn’t for my brain shorting out with no warning lol! Another friendly symptom of CRPS.
I love helping others. So far CRPS has robbed me of that in many ways.
