I had a car accident age 23, and then it took almost 3 years and then they diagnosed me with CRPS. By then it was too late and it had traveled from both my knees to my legs, fully; toes to hips.

I now have it in my hands too, but am still receiving treatment for that.

I have to say I waited 9 years for a pain management program.

Go see another pain specialist; maybe they can help him. And try and find a local support group, they usually have lists of doctors' names that are at least familiar with CRPS and its treatment.

Good luck!

I am 45 going on 46, BTW. Next September, I will have had this 23 years!
