i dont know what has helped my crps thes past months as the pain and crps symptoms are somewhat better at least the pain is manageable for the first time ever. one of the changes before this happened for me was i got gout and could not walk at all, my doc couldnot get me in so i ended up going to er for treatment and he gave me a week or 2 of prednisone. i am now taking colchisine for gout outbreaks. so maybe it was theprednisone that started this, it would be awesome to know cuz i am going crazy trying to figure out why i have been able to reduce my daily and break thru pain control meds.
