Hi moose,

Epsoms can be great things....they work by blocking pain receptors in calcium channels. I think lol. Always use the unperfumed kind.

Use a couple of tablespoons in a warm bath, or put a few tablespoons dry into a damp cloth, fold up, and put directly on burning skin. Works really well on the burns for me.

Definitely never ever any tissue damage in CRPS area (or nearby) - even something as slight as a needle. And when they use a needle in a different limb always ask for a paediatric one as its much finer and causes less tissue trauma. Hence less likely to cause spread...

Good luck,

Bram.
