I have done some research and PRF doesn't seem like the standard procedure for CRPS. Im not sure why she is so convinced that this is the first option she wants to take. Apparently she has patients with crps who do it with good results. Some do it and have less or no pain and then redo it in 6 months etc. She has also cured someone with crps and has performed this treatment 3 times together with blocks etc...

Im still not confident with this treatments as im scared it can make me worse. My pain has really been increasing lately, maybe to the lack of pool and the weather but I cant site around in so much pain constantly as my leg is getting too small and weak.

Should I be doing sympathetic nerve blocks to block the pain and help me to do PT? Does crps just keep get worse? Cant you improve pain and function along the months?
