I want to welcome you to Neuro Talk. There are quite a few people here who experience CRPS. I hope you get alot of responses from others in how they deal with it. For sure, compassion for your pain is number one. There is not much worse than constant pain, and to be told just to push through it. I don't think it is that easy to do. A good attitude always helps, but this pain you endure, I know from others, can be over the top. I so hope you can find a physician that knows about CRPS and can give the kind of answers and pain relief that you need. Please continue to look for that kind of doctor. If you post what state you are in, sometimes there will be a person who can tell you about a doctor in your area. I sure wish you all the best, and that your pain level is down today. I am glad you found Neuro Talk. There will be others that will try to help you with this condition. ginnie
