It is not 100% but it is certainly simple and easy to do and may help.
This post has some of the links, but not all of them.

Hi Mrs. D.
The studies regarding Vitamin C were done specifically for people CRPS following fractures. That being said I have no doubt Vitamin C is still highly valuable following any type of injury but the clinical data indicated a reduction of CRPS symptoms in fractures. The OP might be wise to focus on an anti-inflammtory dietary protocol in this instance.
Dear Notagain.
Welcome to our forum.
I do hope this is just a nasty injury that will heal without any RSD complications. You have come to the right place here as there are so many wonderful supportive people here. I can't answer your question myself because I have centralized RSD with left side involvement. Any bump to my left side no matter where it is causes me to flare. Do all you can to keep the inflammation down and under control and you should be able to get through this just fine.
