Living with Sudeck's syndrome
in Health ·
So, my mother-in-law—she’s 48—is dealing with Sudeckov. It all started about a year ago when she sprained her ankle and some medic botched the cast application. Ever since, it’s been a nightmare. She’s done the whole circuit: physical therapy, EMG tests, even heart catheterization after two heart attacks. They put in two stents at the bifurcation; one failed and the other is barely hitting 70% capacity. We've done MRIs and everything else you can think of, but nothing works. Her leg is still swollen and painful, the skin color is totally off, and the swelling is creeping up toward her knee. Since the doctors basically hit a wall, she tried various alternative medicine remedies, but honestly, it hasn't moved the needle an inch.
I'm putting this out there to see if anyone here has dealt with this specific condition. Any advice on what we should do next? What's the move? 😕
