Hi Lindakaye, welcome to NT.

I was dx'd with MS in 2001 and dx'd with CRPS this week.

There's an RSD forum here that you might want to check out (I am just learning about it). But the Pain Management is going to be about the same - Neurontin, Zanaflex, Lyrica, Baclofen, etc. I'm on the lowest dose of Neurontin right now and just starting nerve block shots.

As for the MS - could be a contributing factor, but maybe not. Nerve pain I am finding out is the common thread between the two diseases.

The CRPS is affecting my right shoulder and I now have early symptoms of frozen shoulder due to inability to move my shoulder because of the pain. Now that we have the pain under control, I hope to gain movement back in my shoulder and arm and muscle tone back.

Good luck on your choice of meds to treat your MS. I am on nothing at the moment. I just finished a clinical trial for Tovaxin. (rather the trial was terminated due to lack of funding).

Lots of good information here. Lots of good people too! I hope you enjoy this place!

(I am headed to Seattle next week for the NW Flower and Garden Show!! I love Seattle).
