Sex and RSD/CRPS
How can an act that feels so good, Cause a flare that feels so bad?
How do you handle it? Have you given up the act all together? I refuse. I
have given up so much for this pain (hiking, tent camping, etc) I cannot
give up something that deepens our connection to each other.
Let's just say that last night the pain started, no sleep, and has continued
into today. Hopefully the flare won't last too long.
Always pain free hugs,
Christine

Sex and RSD...
I have been with my husband for 13 years this Nov.I have had RSD for 3 years. Things have definatly changed.I struggle to balance limiting my pain and having a 'normal' relationship. I wish there was an easy answer or fix too this issue. As it is now I feel that I am forcing myself and faking any enjoyment. This is sad, I feel like I am lying to my husband. He really deserves better. It would hurt him so much to know how painful sex is for me. I hope he never finds out. I limit the number of times per week, and I try to stay in positions that are the least painful. Other than that I don't know what to do.
Thanks,
Elle

I can totally relate to your post. I feel bad for poor hubby because he feels like he did something to cause the pain.
