Hi Darcy!

Dr. Michael Stanton-hicks is at Cleveland Clinic. I have not been there. He does loads of research and publishing. Has been at the CRPS thing a long time. The 80% of people get better concept is on an "Ask the Expert" interview that comes up when you Google Dr. Michael Stanton Hicks and CRPS. He recently did a CME conference in 2014 for pain physicians in Las Vegas and gave lots of great info about treatment paradigm. I will try to dig that up and post a link. I also really like what Dr. Pradeep Chopra has to say. He has a great talk on rsds.org right now. Interestingly says SCS is a no-no if avoidable. Seems conservative, wholistic and optimistic. I wish he were in my neck of the woods. My neurologist adheres to the most people get better over time philosophy, my physical medicine & rehab doctor does too. I like experts who don't tell me I'm totally screwed.
