I really am sorry you are in such pain. Go to the ER if you have to and holler if you have too. You have to find those physicians that know about Cronic pain with RSD or CRPS. Just an MD or PCP is not enough. Have you tried a physiatrist? Can you PM me where you live. Maybe even post so those on line can recommend someone in your area. You are right, your quality of life is being compromised. Maybe it is time to let someone in the medical field see you with a hollar or two. I did cry to my doctors Emily. I did find a doctor who could help but it took a bit of doing. It can be done and you can get some quality of life restored. Pain specialists do allow narcotics if needed. There is also an IV type therapy, and suppliments. Please keep seeking better help. ginnie
