Wish you didn't need to find us but WELCOME!
Since the surgery to "repair" my broken wrist it has been dysfuntional for 9 months ever since.
I could move my fingers and did not have searing pain during the 5 days I was awaiting surgery.
I have gradually gained a LITTLE function of my hand and wrist (14 nerve blocks and 65 P.T. visits later & other trials). I'm on several meds. of course as well.
My only salvation really has been a great pain mgt. Dr. who really knows first hand about CRPS and a really great P.T. who recognized the RSD/CRPS in the first place.
This is a great group with lots of support. We've learned there's no "magic bullet" for this monster but we share ideas and advice. Not every drug or treatment works the same on everyone with this disease but we still share.
That's why we need awareness and research for RSD/CRPS so much!
