Get a referral to see a pain management specialist. Usually this person is an anesthesiologist with advanced training in pain management. I would research each doctor to see if they have a background in crps. If you are successful in finding a doctor like this in your area, he/she would handle all of your care. If you have crps, this doctor would diagnose it through a variety of ways, prescribe all of your treatments, medications, pt., etc. It helps to have one person handling all of it.

I travel to another state for my care because my state is woefully short on specialists in this area. Crps is a complicated disease and finding someone who is up-to-date on it is very important.

Good luck.
