Wow! What a great bunch of incredibly friendly and inviting people!
I will definitely make a home here. I can tell you won't mind a little venting and will share your collective wisdom and varied experience with CRPS.
Thanks for the warm welcome!

I realized that I didn't give much background....
I'm 50yrs old, an RN , married, college-aged kids and on this journey with CRPS I've had 3 stellate ganglion blocks, regional blocks, TENS, physical therapy, multiple meds for pain, sleep and neuropathy/neuralgias, 12 wks of CBT(cognitive behavior therapy) chronic pain managmt clinic and other things I can't remember atm. My Pain doc says SCS or implantable morphine pump are my next options -but I'll ride with the meds I'm on for now -less risks and chance of complications -just dealing with good days and bad. My doc has suggested acupuncture in the meantime-if I can manage payments -am not sure if W/C will cover it .
Again-thanks all for the warm welcome and all the greetings!

PS a forum with spell-check...how cool, lol
