Hi Canagirl,

Whatever you've got it sounds like no fun. Finding an experienced doctor can make all the difference for sure. Check out the Budapest Criteria for CRPS. It seems like you would need more than burning alone. I don't know about the electrical stimulation treatment you had but IMHO it's hard to imagine what happened to you came from acupuncture! Geez, scary no matter what caused it.

Sorry to hear what you're going through. I sure hope they figure this out and you find relief. I take nortriptyline and it works pretty well for me, still some stinging flare but better controlled. Neurontin and lyrica work well for some as well. Hang in there and don't give up on answers.
