The physical therapist suggested asking the pain management doctor if he would be a good candidate for cortisone shots, since he can't tolerate side effects of pain meds. Are cortisone shots for CRPS effective? Safe? Has anyone tried it with good results?

Needles directly into an CRPS effected area are generally something to avoid. Is there even a structural problem that needs to be addressed?
Why has he graduated from aqua therapy? (Did he mind it? Was he making any progress?)
