Hi Victoria,
I do have Manageing pain, she stresses to put an end to pain, before pain puts an end to you! The only thing, I really found helpful is in chapter three.... suggestions on relation and breathing techniques!
Also CRPS, I have been Dx ed with this and from what I learned is that some doctors calling "RSD" use these terms instead... that is what I have been told anyway. Dr Togut does a wonderful job with his "Trigger Point" injections, he uses Marcaine due to the longevity of the medication and when you are in a major flare this seems to quell the pain within minutes! Do not get me wrong, I have been stuck in one sitting up to 11 times, though the pain is worth the gain. Once you receive them make sure to take it easy even though you may seem like "super man/wonder woman", but to make it last I suugest going home taking a nice HOT bath and vegetate the rest of the day... let us know how you make out
