These posts have been really helpful in doing that. Thank you so much for sharing!😊
New question for anyone who feels like jumping in:
I'm trying to get back to my old job (before CRPS). Has anyone gone back to the same job successfully full time?
Thank you all!

Hotfoot, your new question is a good one. You may want to start a new thread to get everyone's attention on that one.
I was already retired when CRPS developed. However, I can say that I could have probably returned to work with some modifications that would be possible. I would have needed more time off than before the CRPS and I don't think it would have been easy.
It would really depend on the type of job and how well the pain is being managed. If a person is on a lot of meds with side effects that prevent them from driving or operating machinery or that prevent them from concentrating, that would certainly be a deterrent.
There are people who go into remission and I hope you hear from them. (I also hope that you become one of them.) Good luck with your quest to return to work. Remember that there is always hope!
