Hello Heffe,

I am sorry your girlfriend is going through this, but I'm also glad you found this site where you will find a ton of great information and support.

There are two fantastic pain doctors that I have seen in Washington State who are extremely knowledgeable and caring with regard to CRPS.

Dr. Daniel Nelson - Kirkland
Dr. Srini Sundarum - Tacoma

Is your GF also using things like epsom salt soaks, lidoderm patches, voltaren gel or specially formulated compound creams? I believe the medical cannabis cream has also been very effective for many people so it might be worth looking into.

Has she been given Flexeril for the muscle spasms or contractures?

Has she considered a spinal cord or peripheral nerve stimulator? I know many people have differing opinions about them but, at least for me it has been a blessing.

I do hope you find a good PM soon!
Tessa
