And I'm a touch further down in London.

My CRPS developed following wrist surgery in December 2012, so this is all still pretty new to me. I have CRPS in my right arm, primarily my hand wrist and shoulder.

I'm afraid I don't have any advice. I did have a surgical procedure on my right hand in June 2013 to help increase my range of motion. I had a manipulation under anaesthesia and a release of the MCP joint. Basically, the surgeon said that the tissue above the knuckle in my little finger was stuck, preventing movement of the joint. He used a small needle to slice the tissue a bit. He also manipulated my hand and wrist and injected steroid into my hand. I was very sore after this but it did improve my ROM. It did not cause a worsening or spread of the CRPS but I know it could have done. I was lucky. I did take vitamin C daily before and after the procedure. I have no idea if this helped but it certainly didn’t hurt.

Best of luck with whatever you decide.
