Hi SpeedBump,
I must say that I agree w/ Spike and Little Paw about finding a doctor qualified to diagnose CRPS. There are certainly things you can try on your own, but not without medical intervention as well. It can be very hard and frustrating to find a doc that is qualified. Many of us have gone through several, but keep trying. Pain management or an orthopedist are probably a good place to start. Best wishes on your recovery~mama mac
