Sleep problems are very common with those of us suffering from CRPS.
And when you don't sleep well, it makes it that much harder to handle chronic pain.
After consulting with two doctors, I began using Trazodone (generic for Desyrel) to help me sleep. It certainly doesn't solve all of my sleep problems as sometimes the pain will override the effects, but there is no question that it helps significantly. It's an inexpensive generic that is commonly prescribed for both sleep and mood.
You may want to talk to your doctor about a meds review that might help your sleep.
