Hi Judy,
Sorry for the awful disease that brought you here but welcome!

I was told to use ice as well for a month by ortho Dr. who did my surgery.
Only to find out later ice did even more damage!

I've also tried several meds., spinal cord stimulator trial, and over 13 nerve blocks in my neck (my CRPS is in my arm and hand). I have had good results from nerve blocks but they are becoming less effective.

There's lots of support, friendship and advice on this forum. I couldn't do without them! We've cried, laughed and helped each other so much. Well, at least they've helped me.

Here's hoping there's a combination that at least helps you cope, We're all trying the best we can and share what we can!
