My Personal CRPS Journey

This is your my story. The story of Aditya. Before diving in, everybody has different circumstances. What worked for me may not work for you, but the purpose of this website is to try to help through my experiences.

How it Began

It started off as a normal day. I was an avid tennis player, practicing to make the tennis team the next year. What started with rolling my ankle on a regular Saturday revealed deeper issues. A cyst had been found in my foot. It had been pressing on my nerve.

This is when it truly began. A normal surgery to remove a cyst eventually contributed to the appearance of CRPS in me after a wheelchair accident.

The Problem

I was suddenly unable to touch anything with my foot. This was a common symptom for CRPS. However, CRPS is an issue with no straight cure. I had spent around 4 months in this state. Unable to wear socks, unable to walk. It had been a painful experience. However, there is always light in the darkness.

During this time, I got a lot of help. There was no cure, but there was someone willing to try out new things to potentially find one. I spent a week in the hospital, I spent hours fighting through the pain of potential treatments. This painful path eventually was fruitful though. I was able to walk again and do various activities, albeit with restrictions. And thankfully, I have been able to live normally with certain restrictions for the past couple months.

The Purpose

The purpose of this site is not to show off my recovery. I created this site to provide resources for you. I have experienced certain things, potentially worse or better, but I wanted to share some things that might end up being of value in whatever situation you are in. I hope that this site is able to be helpful to you!
