Just like any treatment, they don't work for anyone, and it can be challenging to find someone who will do them. But I would think you would want to double down on any treatments you have access to to avoid a flare.
Yes. Your doctor should watch you like a hawk and maybe even before and after the cast extra treatments can be given, just to be sure you don't flare-up the CRPS.
