Fast forward 6 months still no treatment pain specialist says CRPS he gets ganglion nerve block approved I get 3 of them no relief. Fast forward another 6 months on gabapentin 3000mg day baclofen 20mg a day and nortriptyline 50 mg a day and lidocaine patches hydrocodone 5-325 for pain 2 more nerve blocks no relief. In September they do surgery to implant nerves in hand in bone and muscle of hand. No relief see surgeon 2 days ago.my hand is in a fixed position can barley open fingers hand is swollen so much its 2 times normal size. Surgeon says there is nothing more they can do x rays show osteoporosis in hand EMG shows nerve delay in hand.Surgeon wants to amputate left hand he says CRPS is spreading up hand and wants to amputate at the wrist so it don't spread up arm. Is there any more treatments I can do so they don't amputate my hand. Any help will be appreciated thanks for taking the time to read this.
I assume bwc - means a work comp claim??

That makes getting treatment much trickier as they have to approve almost anything suggested by your dr, and usually will try to deny quite often..
