This awful. I hope you get the help you need very soon. My problems have been with tendons and ligaments as well as my bones. One of the things that I have been doing is taking gelatin everyday, because the body cannot heal without the proper nutrients.

My sister bought me a large canister of organic cold dissolvable gelatin. For the past month and a half I have taken it everyday in my morning pineapple juice with vitamin c. I just switched to using this every other day, because my nails are growing thick and fast, which indicates to me that my body is utilizing the gelatin.

My sister, she has cancer, who is taking it too, noticed positive skin changes.

Littlepaw gave you good advice. Keeping up your joint mobility is key.

I know you already have had CRPS for a while, so please forgive me for the following, you probably already have the information.

Is your CRPS hot or cold? You might want to buy a Black and Decker leak detector , costs about 25, to keep track of temp changes.

If you have cold CRPS, get a good heating pad.

Avoid ice, it damages the myelin sheath.

If you have hot CRPS, massage with DMSO cream. Massage with MSM cream for cold. I read you can do both, but DMSO is usually most effective for hot CRPS.

The only thing that dulled my pain was hydrocodone. In a year period I got a total of 30 pills. I still have 2. I hoarded them, because they were hard to get and tramodol did nothing. I don't know about your other drugs, because I haven't been able to get anything other than neurontin, which helps with electric pain. In one respect I am fortunate, because by not taking opioids I was able to take LDN. It is to early to tell if it is helping.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but why are you on so many similar drugs? If they are not bringing you relief you might consider asking your doctor if they could be eliminated, one by one. There is a study showing that neurontin and these other drugs interfere with brain synapses. Why take something that is not helping?

My insurance refused my rheumatologist's request for an MRI, after I had a bone scan, so like you I have no idea what is happening to my soft tissue.

Please update us.
