Hello,
I am new to writing in this forum but have been looking at posts for awhile. I was diagnosed with CRPS after a tailor's bunionectomy and osteotomy that I had on my right foot in June 2012. I didn't receive the diagnosis until last October or the correct treatments until February of 2013. I have had so many different types of nerve blocks with no success. Doctors and Physical Therapist all agree that I should get a Spinal Cord Stimulator but I am not in a place where I can trust any doctor to operate on me again. So I have been trialing multiple medications with some relief. However weakness, tingling, numbness, and shooting pain started in my wrists, hands, and arms. Now doctors have recently diagnosed me with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in both wrists-- the right being far worse than the left. Has anyone heard of some connection here? I am only 34 years old and was very healthy until this whole mess started. Is it just coincidence that now I am having more neuropathic pain or could the CRPS be spreading?
