Seaglass,

Pease watch the Chopra videos recommended by Purplefoot ASAP.

Try to get on Low Dose Naltrexone. PT was agonizing for me until I took LDN. And then after taking LDN when I got to exercise in a warm pool the improvement was substantial.

The most effective heating pad has been a jade disc infared mat my sister loans me. I need the extra large size to cover the area from my back to my toes, but you might only need a smaller one. A bit pricey, but it works.

Very little medication helped me. Neurotin helped with electric shocks and spasms, but it gave me brain fog. Anti-inflammatories damaged my stomach, even at low dosages.

I found memory foam to be the very best at creating warmth, everything else is like using an insulating cooler to keep my CRPS limb ice cold.

Let me know if you have a problem with swelling.
