Well, the weather suddenly got cold (for CA, yes I know we are weather wimps) and BAM. My arthritic knee on my "good" leg hurts and the CRPS leg is on fire. The whole leg. Which means that the pain meds aren't effective anymore. The meds had the leg quiet for me, so I just felt the foot. And now, suddenly, the whole leg is active again. Why? Cause the weather changed.
Even a breeze or a sudden increase in wind (stormy here yesterday, and the night before I woke up in terrible pain for some reason). And I have been on these medications since 2004. You can never truly 100% predict what it (the CRPS) is going to do.
