It is possible pain could come and even stay. But surely projecting that doesn't help Haywired when it isn't even present now. Added stress and worry increases adrenal activity, only adding more aggravating compounds to the mix, a good thing to avoid when possible. If the CRPS is addressed now through first line treatments of PT then hopefully Haywired will improve instead of getting worse.

I am exiting now. Headed to the gym for some of that pool workout I am always harping about.
It is a fact that CRPS needs to be treated well and early, or else the pain can settle and become chronic and you can't get it out anymore. That's just factual.

Not that I ever mean to scare anyone, but it just goes to show how fast you need to find a good physician that is willing to actively tackle this.

Just... you know, the basics of the condition. Everyone can look that up. And better that someone informs you of this than a terrible outcome and an "if only I had known then".
