I'm getting some short-term relief from pain/burning with stellate ganglion blocks. My dr is recommending scs for long-term relief. I'll get a second opinion in a week or so.
CRPS I=RSDS
CRPS II=CAUSALGIA

i have crps2 and scs did not work for me.

on another post you said you were stage one so that means its early and maybe you have a better shot at it than me.

i saw somewhere that stage1 means it was caught/diagnosed in first 3 months and start agressive therapy have 100% chance of cure.

stage2 caught/dignosed in first 6 months and start agressive therepy have 50% chance of cure.

stage 3 and 4 have no cure and its agressive so plan on getting much worse.(this was my catagory)

if you are truly stage 1, then you need 8 to 10 hours of therapy a day 7 days a week or you can end up in a different stage........(at least that is what i read)
