I might be over stepping my bounds but I think that you should know that CRPS has no cure. They only treat the symptoms which is ridiculous amounts of pain.

I think that you should also look up conditions that mimic the symptoms of RSD/CRPS. In the mean time, it couldn't hurt to start taking Vitamins. Specifically C (in large amounts over the course of a day, it naturally reduces swelling, don't take it all at once otherwise you'll just urinate it out, like 1500mg at a time maybe like 3 or 4 hours apart.) Also Vitamin B12 is good. My personal favorite are the cherry flavored ones. B12 not only boosts the metabolism but it's also good for your nervous system, also in the healing process to make new DNA for cells, I take that after every meal, but not after dinner otherwise you'll be up all night lol. Two others that help with pain are Tumeric, which I've only found in Indian food stores or online, they come in a pill form and I take one everyday in the morning after breakfast. and the other one is Stevia in the Raw. Put a couple of those packets in a pitcher of Ice tea and it can help with pain as well. Now Tumeric and Stevia aren't going to work right away, they both have to build up in your system for awhile before you start seeing any kind of results.

I hope this helps. I've had CRPS for four years, and it helps me, doesn't completely take the pain away but it helps.
