For you who knows this "old" girl on kneegeeks you know I have RSD/CRPS in left knee and leg. In May I got stucked with my wheelchair and came down all weight on left leg and broke a bone in my foot and got hairline fracture there. This summer I have had 3 dislocations of my left knee.
Last week I didn't get it back in place and they came sedated me and helped me. My muscles were in spasms.
But decided to not go in as my knee was back tracking as it should.
Days forward and pain and swelling got worse. Found out Wednesday I have hairline fracture in Tibial plateau and some other damages on my femur.
They believe that I could have had this and got worse over Summer and with new incidents.
Right now am stucked in brace that is locked in 45 degrees so I can use my wheelchair. When I'm not up I have my leg in a straight brace.
Go back in 4 weeks for new x-rays to see how it looks.
I can't go the usual route that everyone else do as I'm wheelchair bound due to my RSD/CRPS and due to spinal damage.
What is the outcome of such injury? I know I have poor healing and my skeleton is not the best shape either.
Pain is not easy to work with. My daily pain with RSD is 6 on the scale where 10 is worst pain and 0 is no pain.
I am fortunate to go in for epidural if pain get to high.
If you have any info please share and if you have any questions about me, just ask away. I will continue write my progress here./Nettan

Like you I have crps in my left knee where my fracture is also. I already have problems with having pain under control. Due to my allergies I can only use morphine. I also have a spinal damage. Hope we can stay in touch and help each other out. So sorry to hear that you still are on crutches and the fracture isn't healing. I am going to call back to my docs tomorrow and will write back again.
Meanwhile take care./Nettan

This morning when I transfered myself from showerchair to wheelchair I slipped a bit and took weight on left leg. I heard a loud crack and started to swell.
I called the hospital and talked with them. As I have appointment tomorrow and have straight brace at home I persuaded them to wait until tomorrow.
I am going in for a block tomorrow, so now they have also scheduled me for a ct scan to see if something has happened.
Sometimes am thinking I would be better without this knee, but also know with rsd/crps is not just to chop of the leg, because of the more severe painproblems that can come after.
So let's see what tomorrow brings. Look forward to have a block and if that will help I will feel so much better and probably will be able move around more.

Got removeable cast and 2 new braces. Helps a bit. I use them in different situations and with my RSD it feels good that I can have the variety with different materials and also have my leg in slightly different positions.
Pain is worst in the evenings still. I have managed to change my painmeds a bit so I can use more in the evening.
I have also learnt to plan my days better so I'm able to get the best and most out of my days and not increase my painlevels to much.

So had mri this week to have a look at how my leg is doing. Hardly any improvement at all. Pain is though better and I have managed to wean off some of the meds.
I know that my RSD/CRPS with the poor bloodflow is going to delay my healing, but I had hoped for some good news.
I still swell when I'm up and about. Even if I'm out more now, often during that time I need to stop and get my leg up somewhere to feel somehow comfortable for a while. Like catching my breathe.
