Who diagnosed the condition? Have you gotten back to them by phone to tell them the pain meds are NOT WORKING? Have you been referred to a pain management specialist?

It is important to learn about this condition and to be proactive in your care. For me, I will call the doctor's office if I am not getting the results they expected from an RX or if I am having negative side effects. Some people are not comfortable doing this, but i find that if I speak to the receptionist or ask to talk to a medical assistant, they will get the message to the doctor and get back to me. Be sure to leave the name and phone # of your pharmacy.

You should not have to be in such pain waiting to see your doctor. I know it is excruciating. You deserve some attention and relief.

As for ER and urgent care - they are less than likely to be familiar with crps and may treat you as a drug seeker. Call the doc who prescribed your meds! You are worth it!
