If your new pcm isn't well versed in CRPS then you either need to educate them ( unless one of those old sticks that won't bend and learn) or find one that is well educated in it. It has taken me almost 10 yrs just to be believed that I hurt. Even after many rounds of pt, showing up at appts with my knee and lower leg swollen so big I couldn't get any clothing except underwear and a skirt (or hubbies shorts don't tell him lol) over it. I have even worn his pants. Huge in the waist and other leg and tight on my bad leg. I had them almost ALL tell me its all in my head, and you can't be in that much pain you just want drugs. I hate taking meds. I don't even like taking vitamins. I don't like feeling fuzzy headed so why would I just want meds? Don't let them treat you like a nonentity. Please don't let them do to you what they have done to me.
