right foot, leg, possibly hip and lower back. I am housebound, no driving, no
working for me. I walk with a cane, and my doc has suggested a walker, because
I fall sometimes. My step dad (closer than my dad) had liver cancer... and I
went through that. I know it's not the same as a husband, but I loved him. If
I can help at all, just write... if you just want to vent, please write... and I
WILL respond. You have a penpal for as long as you want/need. God Bless you
both.

years now in right hand and arm and 8 weeks ago, my husband was diagnosed with a
malignant brain tumor - my RSD has flared like you wouldnt believe, and I am
unable to do anything for myself to care for the pain, as I have to drive him
to/from doctors appointments, to/from pharmacy, to/from radiation and
chemotherapy, and have to fully take care of him at home.
