I was diagnosed with crps five years ago and for the last 2 years, I've been checked out from getting current medical care by having my pcp fill my prescriptions. I just needed to step back from the 12 different doctors that had been involved with my care. Several specialists agreed with the diagnosis. I decided that I should go back to a pain specialist/neurologist to monitor my health and to find out about any new treatments. The new pm has some doubts that I have crps because many of the symptoms I previously showed were not visible at my appointment. When I began taking the 9 different meds that I currently take, most symptoms had some relief. Swelling went down, one could actually touch my legs with out me freaking out, color changes stopped, etc. The doctor wants to take me off 3 pain meds which I know will produce severe pain. He just doesn't think I'm in as much pain as I should be if I have crps. Once you began taking meds (Lyrica, Fentanyl, Percocet, tramadol, etc.), did some of your symptoms stop showing? Of course, I am wondering if I'm crazy because he doesn't believe me since he hasn't read other reports. Any similar experiences?
