Murgir, I'm really happy that your doctors have made you feel better about things - that's worth a LOT!

But....as others have said, the 'it'll burn itself out' hocum is sooooo dark ages, along with contrast bath therapy and 'your cheque is in the post' I had a pain doc who thought she had experience of working with cros tell me that one.....found another lol.

And CRPS symptoms in another part of the body should never ever EVER EVER be dismissed as 'a bit odd'....they should be noted down in case they become recurring and a sign of spread. It should be taken seriously. It always cracks me up (ironically, obviously ) when a doc says these numpty things and expects you to look admiringly into his eyes and thank him for his shining wisdom. What a prize plonker more like.

If you feel any easier than before murgir, then I'm for you. Let's hope you can get this thing under control and be able to draw breath...

Bram.
