Default New to the forum -CRPS

Hello all!!!
I have just joined this forum. I have had CRPS for nearly nine years. I have it in my right foot/leg, my back, my left hand/arm. I am also having symptoms in my left leg now
I get so much pain, colour changes, swelling (lots!!!!) weakness, tingling and more!! It look me along time to get a diagnosis, I have regular appointments with my pain specialist. I have regular nerve blocks in my back, they only usually last a few weeks.
I have been to London a few times now to see different specialists, as my symptoms are pretty bad, last year I was in hospital, it was the worst 2 months of my life. Nobody knew what to do,I was in so much pain, I was also incontinent, which at my age was awful! I had to rely on everyone to help me.

I am hopefully going to be trialling the Spinal Cord Stimulator, any opinions/suggestions??

Also what is your story?? Would be nice to talk to people who know how hard this is. Xx xx
