Ouch, that does look sore....no wonder you've been going mad from the itching and irritation!

It's obviously completely up to you what stuff you try to help with the soreness. The only reason I've been pushing the honey is that I know how troublesome many of the meds are for you, and I thought it was something you could try without upsetting the balance too much... Whichever way you play it, I just hope whatever it is works for you!

The second one is definitely closing better. Thanks so much for posting these, I had no idea how major the SCS was, I've only read about it, and seeing your pictures certainly makes me appreciate why it's often seen as a risky decision with CRPS. I'm glad it helped you so much for that time though, as you say, getting that extra couple of years was worth all the aggro!

Lol on the muppetry thing you guys In our house, saying "you muppet" is a friendly way of pointing out that someone has messed up, haha, and "muppetry" is the art of messing things up without malice a forethought, as the courts would say... "Classic muppetry" means it's something that person has done previously and is well known for.....like for instance when I was halfway through cooking a tea tonight, but had forgotten to take the sausages out of the freezer...so my poor husband had to go and get some more!!!! Bless. My youngest told me I was a muppet first of all....as in 'oh Mum, you are a muppet sometimes...' in a slightly pitying way

Take care everyone, and Nanc, I'm glad I'd finished my tea before I looked at your pics Hope you get some sleep tonight.

Bram.
