While it sounds frivolous let me tell you a little story. Around winter of 1994 my wife slipped on ice in our own driveway. Fell and made a compound fracture of the distal portion of the ulna and radius. Fixator put in and carpal tunnel release done, twice. Fixator removed and pain doesn't go away. For years the pain in her wrist continued and started to spread. Took a pain specialist to diagnose it as Complex regional pain syndrome. Meaning they know its real, they can actually measure it but they don't know very much about it. Long story short, its 2008 the pain has spread through her body. She takes many meds for the pain, she has three implantable stimulators in her body to try to help with the pain. The two for her left arm were like a miracle but the one for her leg is far less effective. She has continuos pain 24/7/365 that the meds don't touch and she still works 40 to 50 hours a week. We are hoping she can make it to 55 so she can retire. She sleeps from 7:30 at night until wake up, or at least she tries but really doesn't sleep well at all. She is always tired and try imagining being in continual pain with no relief. I don't know if that women is FOS or not. If she is then I have nothing but contempt for her, but the possibilities that it could have become more than a simple broken wrist is always a possibility. How much money would my wifes conditions be worth to you? K.
