Everyone else here has already given a great amount of advise, and there is not much more that I can add. There appears to be something in the relationship that is bothering your wife and she might be afraid to bring it up with you. As mentioned before, counseling of some sort is a great idea, and as someone else has already mentioned, someone familiar with chronic pain, particularly CRPS would be preferred.

My husband and I have not been all that intimate lately as a result of being in pain from CRPS. He has been afraid that he might hurt me, and I have been worried about the same. It has recently caused a fight between the two of us, and until about two weeks ago, I did not know why. We are working through this on our own and trying to find ways that neither of us has to worry about the CRPS being in the way.

I consider intimacy a very important part of a marriage. If there is no intimacy, there is most likely some kind of problem standing in the way. I hope the two of you are able to figure out what that might be.
