I always recommend a video by Dr. Pradeep Chopra. It is from 2014 and is called"CRPS Diagnosis and Management". It is on YouTube if you just google Dr. Pradeep Chopra and CRPS. Sorry I don't have a link for it. ITt is over an hour long and gives loads of good information on treatments, therapies and nutrition. This doctor worked and published with Schwartzman who is a retired CRPS specialist that is highly regarded. Chopra's info is a good starting point, it is non-doomsday, holistic and reasonable. National Institutes of Health and the major specialist write that 80% of CRPS sufferers improve with time. PT that is gentle and does not cause pain flare is helpful. The limb must be kept moving and working but not aggravated. [] is a good site for info.
