I was diagnosed with C.R.P.S/R.S.D a little over a year ago. It happened after an injury to my right wrist ulna impaction and a arthoscopic surgery. Have had 6 nerve blocks in my neck (not fun) they have offered me lidocaine infusion?? I have said no thank you to that. I am on Novo Norotriptyn right now (think I'd know how to spell it by now! lol) have tried Gabapentin and Lyrica.
They say it doesn't spread but my body tells me otherwise. The pain specialist says the nerves can do that sort of thing about the random stabbing pains I have been having in my left side, and my feet.
When I wake up in the morning I can hardly move, my shoulders, neck and back are very stiff. I can only sit, drive walk, lay down for short amounts of time, otherwise I start hurting and aching more.This condition does make life feel like hell. With all this going on I am dealing with WCB & money problems due to all of this. Stress does not help this condition at all.
But knowing that others with this condition know what is going on, and can understand helps ALOT. Being alone with this condition, feeling like you are crazy, or going crazy, and that Drs act like you are exaggerating is frustrating. So hellooo, hope everyone is having a painfree day!
