I've found Ginkgo biloba to help with pain and make the gabapentin more effective. I take 60mg in the morning and 120 at night.

This is a tough condition and it seems to affect us each a little differently. But it seems most of us come to deal with it a little better over time. Being young gives her an excellent chance for a remission.
I was 23 when I had my car accident. My CRPS is chronic and has led to a disability; both legs affected. Being young has nothing to do with going into remission or not.

It depends on how this is treated. And treatment is necessary. And then again, sometimes treatments don't do a thing. Also something to take into account.

I was young. I am 46 now and am still stuck with this thing!!!
