The doctors themselves may be good, but how much do they really know CRPS.
You will be MUCH better off finding a quality pain management specialist at a major hospital like HSS and St. Lukes Roosevelt where they have a dedicated team treating CRPS patients and follow/offer CRPS treatments.

Thanks for the heads up. I just got an email from them today to call them to set up a consult. My husband is going to help me with the call because I have trouble comprehending things with all the pain meds I'm taking. I don't understand insurance either. Even without pain meds.lol. My husband does though and will talk to them. I'll let him know what you said. I don't want anyone touching my spine. I'm not as brave as Tessa with that Epidural procedure that she did. I have scoliosis and am too afraid of complications. But if they want me to try an infusion in my good arm with an IV, or try a new drug like neurondrate (sp?) I think I will let them. I'll keep you all posted. And thanks again everyone for caring so much.
PS: Welcome GotNerve! I like your name too. Cool Man.lol.
