Post Managing flares

Hi, Everyone. I'm new here. I have CRPS in both feet that developed after a bunionectomy in my right foot in June 2015. I was diagnosed early and started on meds and aggressive use of my feet. My feet still turn colors and have the burn on a regular basis but nothing debilitating. I'm still able to run and carry on with my life for the most part with some modifications. I guess I'm "highly functioning " CRPS. However, I do have flares that are miserable. I'm trying to manage this without opioids. I'm on Lyrica and Imipramine daily. I have lidocaine patches that I use at night so the pain doesn't wake me up. My feet actually feel better when I'm up and around.....maybe distraction, but I can't be up 24/7. What medications that aren't opioids or methods do you use to manage flares? Thank you in advance for your advice.
