Did any of you test and treat your affected limb for low bone density?
If this is already on here just let me know and I’ll search harder.
Thank you so much!
If you are post-menopause definitely ALSO see your gynaecologist, as that is how my mom got prescribed bisphosponates (osteoporosis).

I got my infusions through a rheumatologist who knew about CRPS/RSD very well. It is given for recalcitrant RSD, so not everyone just gets that medication.

HTH!
