Lyrica is helping, that's great, but how is her functioning. Is she happy at that level or does she still have pain and need further help with pain reduction? If she's happy then yay. But if not, then they need to be discussing additional methods of pain management, of which there are at least a dozen.

Yes, there are those few people whose CRPS just goes away.... FEW. Stay the same? Maybe. But now is the time for her to be aggressive in the treatment because reasearch shows the first year is critical and the first six months even more if possible, for disease management. She's lucky she got a diagnosis quickly, but she needs to take advantage of that!

PT- good (if she can do it w/her pain level) but I'd still want a dr. more familiar with the CRPS treatments.
