Everyone is different and every medical professional is different. Boy are we all finding that out! It is so cliche, but so true.

You have to find what works for you. And that is a lot of trial and error. For me, it's a cocktail of meds, 3 hours of my own time daily on therapy, exercise, soaks, stretches.....and the help of my physical therapist, chiropractor, pain management doctor, GP and on occasion, my massage therapist. CRPS responds best to a "multi-disciplinary" approach in my opinion.

It took me over a year to develop a treatment protocol that works best for me. And some constant "tweeking" is necessary. But I can honest say that life is a lot better for me than any time since I was diagnosed in 2008.

But you must be your own advocate. And you must try different things. And get LOTS of opinions. I found some professionals that didn't have a clue about this condition and others that are quite knowledgeable.

Good luck to you!
