Default Doc said CRPS may have 'burnt itself out' at original site - any exp or ideas?!

Hi gang,

I saw my pain specialist last week, and I was telling her that my left knee (where I first had CRPS) isn't the real problem now. Although my knee is weak and painful, it doesn't really burn like it used to, only every now and then, the pain is more deep and subtle.

It is my left foot that is the drama now, much more pain and burning on a daily basis and it is really affecting my mobility. Luckily now I am back on a small Lyrica dose it is a little better than it was.

The doc said the CRPS may have 'burnt itself out' in the original site. What does she mean and is it a permanent improvement or just a temporary bit of time off? Also, has anyone actually had this and did it last?

Thanks for any ideas

Bram.
