Well I'm on it started in October. Injured from a bad venipuncture/blood draw. It all went downhill from there. I've tried Gabapentin helped the pain a little but side effects so horrid I couldn't continue on it. They gave me ..woo hoo..tramadol for a pain killer..it doesn't help so much though. I'm also taking 50mgs or Amitriptyline 1 pill before bed. I have tried ice packs docs say it if helps to do it. Well I can't walk around with an Icepack wrapped around my arm. Plus I've been doing some reading and from what the consensus says I'm not supposed to use it for CRPS, that it can cause complications.I want you to know I am not usually so ..well desperate sounding, I've just had a rough ...well rough since it started and without the support from my partner..It makes it a LOT more difficult and stressful. In turn that makes my pain worsen........I'm going to talk to the doc tomorrow about something for possible anxiety?? I'm not depressed just....lacking emotional outputs. And I would just like some relief.....to sleep a night without waking in pain or not being able to fall asleep....well i'm gonna try to go to bed so I'll talk you you soon ....I am trying to be "ok"
