Default CRPS Medical Alert Bracelet

Hi there,

It's been awhile, hopefully some of you will remember me.

My surgery didn't go as well as we'd hoped. Well, it did and it didn't. I have gotten some function back but unfortunately the pain is so bad that I cannot use that function due to the pain.

At any rate, I have a medical alert bracelet but I'm thinking that I need to go ahead & update it to reflect my CRPS. I've recently developed a latex allergy anyway, so need to have it updated regardless. I just realized today when a doctor unfamiliar with my case went to *grab* my leg that I could be in for some serious hurts if someone did something similar if I were unconscious or otherwise unable to communicate.

So, do any of you have this on a medical bracelet? Do you just have your condition's name? I worry since so many people seem so unfamiliar with it. Just the initials? The whole name? See wallet card? What else?

Thanks.
