Hi,
I am new to the forums. I have been diagnosed with CRPS/RSD, (as best they can), since November of 09. I have been going to PT ever since, I have done the Lumbar Sympathetic blocks, with no relief. Now the doctors are talking about a Dorsal Nuero Stimulator. Nothing seems to work.
It seems to be getting worse regardless of how much I am fighting this.
I am even going to the gym 3 to 5 times a week for 3 to 4 hours a day as suggested by my doctor to keep everything moving. I pay for it big time after a good work out. And sometimes I have to stop right in the middle of a workout and just leave.

I had 2 Heart Attacks and open heart surgery, which is how they think this was triggered. I also have the beginning stages of Liver Disease from all the heart meds I have been on.

At this point, I don't even have pain meds to help with the constant pain.
Any suggestions for me to try, that may help reduce the pain and swelling.

I am ready to try just about anything.
I am also trying to not show how much pain I am in to my 4 kids and wife.
After time, it just feels like I am a constant complainer.
So far this is worse than the Heart Attacks and Open Heart Surgery combined.

Please offer any suggestions that seemed to have helped you.

Thank you.
