Dear Kim,

To give you an idea.

Chronic CRPS pain is classified as equal to non-terminal cancer pain, more severe than any untrained first delivery.

So it's like being in constant child birth.

I'm sure you have explored all the options, but is he in constant care with a pain management team? I went the medical route (gabapentin, pain patches) and didn't have surgical implants (stimulator). Because that was the best way for me.

Everyone has to see what's the best option for them.

It doesn't, however, sound to me as though his pain is under control. That is the first thing to focus on.

I would have a *serious* discussion with his pain management doctors, because the pain should be manageable.

Good luck!
