Any one with any suggestions welcomed!
Alt,

I just wanted to let you know that I do have CRPS in my gallbladder region after my gallbladder was removed. I couldn't eat for 5 years. Every time I did, I was in sever pain. The only thing I could tolerate was broth, noodles, potatoes & toast. That was my diet for those 5 years. It took me going to Mayo Clinic to find out what was wrong. They put me on Lyrica & Cymbalta. It helped me enough that I can eat normal foods. I had CRPS internally first then developed it after my ankle surgery, so I was kind of backwards.......My family always said I wasn't normal!

I will answer any questions you might have if I can about my experience. Just ask!

Melissa
