Dear Roz -

Unfortunately, this isn't a cure for CRPS unless given in the acute stage. (And the tragedy is that it's not being used in this country for that purpose, notwithstanding the fact that doctors usually have ample opportunity to do so.) What it is, however, is a pretty good way of preventing it from getting worse because of subsequent surgeries. So it's my understanding that the person in question, although not better, didn't see any aggrevation in her symptoms as a result of the surgery on what I believe was a CRPS affected extremity.
