Bram,

You mentioned deep bone pain with the cold which is more often a symptom of arthritis or disuse (as well as a sequel to CRPS).. are you taking or has anyone mentioned Celebrex? Celebrex is of great benefit to those with arthritis/joint pain and also acts as a anti-inflammatory which has helped some with the edema caused by the CRPS. I haven't had any ill side effects from taking it so that is a bonus as well. Something to think about if you haven't already tried it.

Another life saver for me during the winter months is my stationary recumbent bike & treadmill. Both vital to my recoveries after each of the 6 hip/pelvis operations and now they have become an essential part of my daily pain coping arsenal. Oh yeah.. and our hot tub seriously the best when I just can't seem to warm up any other way.

Determined to find a way to continue to live in paradise!
Tessa
