Hello and welcome to this part of NT!

I know that you are still fighting with workers compensation to try to get in to see the right specialists, but the sooner you get the correct treatment, the better the chances of putting this into remission.

I am glad to see that you are going through PT. That is always the best treatment. Try not to over due it. Take it at a pace that you feel like you are gaining but not causing flares.

If you are interested in learning some of the treatments that are currently being used, try watching Dr. Chopras video on youtube if you have a chance.

It is almost 2 hours long, but is very informative on what is currently being used and what to avoid. Knowing some of these treatments has helped me find out which of my doctors are staying up to date on treatments, and which are sticking with treatments that are out of date and are more likely to cause more problems. Everybody responds differently to different treatments though. This is one of the problems with CRPS. If it works for one person, it may make things worse for another, if it does nothing for one, it may be the right approach for another.

Please, feel free to rant away. We are here to listen and help each other through all of our troubles that CRPS brings.
