Welcome
I am truly sorry you have to deal with this monster. You will find this forum is awesome and the members really care. This group has helped me learn so much about CRPS, how others are being treated and what medications are out there and the side effects. I hop on several times a day just reading posts and checking out links thirsty for knowledge and comfort. This crazy condition has changed my life completely and has tossed me into a state of mental exhaustion. Finding a way to express myself, share thoughts and concerns with others has helped me a lot.
My advice to you is find a good Pain Specialist and work closely with your doctor(s) to address the various issues you face. I have found it helpful to keep a daily pain diary so I can see what activites, food and medications help or cause flare-ups. Because I am fairly new to this RSD thing too, I found this has really helped me communicate my pain and symptoms to both my Ortho and Pain Specialist better.
I wish you the best!
