I'm glad you have a good PCP, that's a wonderful and rare thing... Sounds like a good idea to see that shoulder surgeon if you have a good relationship - even if he isn't sure on CRPS, he might be willing to consider it and read up a little to give you his opinion.

Well done on the diet and exercise thing. You sound like me on that score! Up until about three years ago, I was very active, lots of sport, ate well etc. didn't see this coming at all... Oh well. It's scary how quickly you lose your conditioning though with something like CRPS. Keep exercising (or just moving!) as much as you can - once your muscles start to go soft, other things can start being a problem too. Core strength in particular is key - I'm desperately trying to regain some of mine!!

Take care and have a better day.

Bram.
