Hello,

I do not have an official CRPS diagnosis but have many of the features. These were particularly bad before I had a nerve release surgery done. Though I later developed symptoms again after another unrelated procedure there was a period post-op that my symptoms went away almost like flipping a switch. Vasomotor symptoms and shooting pains resolved. There is always a possibility that your hardware is aggravating a nerve and removing the source of irritation could allow the potential for healing. Your surgeon would need to be extra cautious and meticulous in trying spare small cutaneous nerve from harm when making your incisions. If you decide to go ahead Arm yourself with knowledge and a good anesthesiologist who is up on how to help you with the right kinds of blocks, neurontin pre- op etc. Also, Hit the vitamin C and ask for healing thoughts.

Sending the best for 2015
