Default CRPS/RSD advice? Nowhere to turn.

Hello,

I have been suffering with CRPS/RSD since 2007. I am 45. I tried everything and the only thing that helped was Nucynta as it took all the pain away. However, I had some side effects and my family didn't like me to be taking pain meds so I stopped months ago.

I started going natural with Kratom which helped great but my tolerance build quickly and it doesn't work well now.

I have nothing for pain now. I even tried to work out today but walking is difficult as it feels like my feet are broken and burning.
Trying to do cardio my feet get icy numb and painful. I can't bend my wrist or elbow much and I used to love weightlifting but without pain relief it is agonizing to workout.

My left arm and hand turns purple and ice cold and I can't even touch it without horrific pain.

I still see a pain doctor and contemplating going back to nucynta long acting in order to have a life again.

I want to see specialist in RSD/CRPS. Does anyone know of any good doctor's in or near Philadelphia, PA or the surrounding suburbs?
