I have had CRPS since shortly after an accident breaking my foot and ankle in three places late in November last year. It has definitely spread to my other leg and other conditions I suffer with such as Tendinitis, Peripheral Arterial Disease and Osteoarthritis have got much worse. It could of course, and I believe it is, be that these extra aches and pains are due to CRPS.

Anyway I have two new conditions and wonder if either could be because of CRPS.

Cramps in my neck, usually on the left side. This comes when I have a big yawn which stretches my jaw. The side of my neck goes solid and its extremely painful. Massaging relieves the condition slowly but then my neck hurts for ages.

Two nights ago I found a lump on the back of my head, just above my neck. It is hard and not painful and about the size of a one pound coin (One inch in diameter). I have a doctors appointment tomorrow but thought would like to go with some knowledge if it is a known problem associated with CRPS. The GP I am going to tomorrow is a first for me and the chances of her knowing anything about CRPS is small.

Thanks for any replies, John.
Hi John,
I get that lump thing on the head just above the neck too. I was going to mention it to my neurologist at the next appointment coming up.
If it's related to CRPS I will for sure let everyone in here know.
I also have shrinking of my cerebellum going on so it's hard telling the cause right now.
But it is quit weird that someone else has it too!
So many things can be going on with me. I certainly don't need more...

Good luck to you...
