Hi Murgir,
That's wonderful that you found a doctor let alone 2 that are so caring, have a great "bedside manor" provided you w/a cell phone number to reach him & actually listen I am so happy for you! I'm not sure how long you have been dealing w/your RSD/CRPS but from my experience over the years (june will be my 10yr mark ) Ive learned to only increase the med's or strength of meds when u have to, example being your getting more flair up's things are progressing, pain has gotten worse etc. Reason I say this is because we build a tolerance to any medication over time so in turn med's stop working as well as we need them to & having RSD/CRPS that's never fun but point is if you get put on something strong now you wont have much to go up to later as the pain gets worse ya know what I mean. I take a muscle relaxer called Robaxin that might be something to ask about its a mild muscle relaxer so your not gonna be knocked out from it. For pain I take ibprophen & Percocet. Another suggestion which you may have already tried is a tens unit. I hope this helps in some way & if you have any ?s feel free to ask, hope your having a pain free or @ least a manageable night Take care
