Hi all!
I'm 53, married with 2 sons, 1 grandaughter. I'm a professinal female in a customer service job.
I fell & broke my wrist 12-22-12 & had surgery on 12-28-12. I developed "complications" within 1-2 weeks and was diagnosed with CRPS finally 4 wks later with help of my P.T. alerting my surgeon.
I have all the "classic" symptoms. I was referred to pain mgt. Dr. but later found a better one. I have been given a whole coctail of drugs to take of course and am waiting for my 4th nerve block. However, the 1st one failed because they hit arteries twice (only x-ray guided) and caused too much bleeding. That's when I searched out another pain Dr. who uses both ultrasound and x-ray guided nerve block.
I'm horrible and slow at keyboarding now and that is a main portion of my job so I have not been able to return yet and I'm really afraid about that among other things.
I hope to offer support to fellow sufferers here and learn from others and share what I'm learning. CRPS is so frustrating!
