I'm so sorry you are going through this. There are people here who are far more experienced than I am and they will be able give you more advice. But I wanted to let you know that I do not experience constant skin sensitivity. I only experience that occasionally, primarily when I am at work and have done too much typing and/or mouse clicking and I only get it on my right wrist - the area of the precipitating injury.
I should probably explain that I developed CRPS following surgery to repair torn cartilage in my right wrist nearly one year ago. The CRPS has spread to my entire right arm now and up my neck a wee bit.
I hope that you will be able to feel comfortable on this forum, despite the fact that most of us are older. There are so many wonderful people here and I find it comforting just to read some of the posts, even if I have nothing to add, and to know that there are other people out there who understand.
I’m not sure if you saw this but in one of the threads recently an episode of Inside Edition about CRPS was mentioned. The piece featured the journalists teenage son who has CRPS. You might find it interesting and helpful to watch.
