Confused CRPS and a new injury

Hi everyone
I have CRPS in my left knee primarily and now in my left shoulder and left ankle. Everything was okay, making improvement. Was on one crutch or a stick our and about and at home with nothing. I tore the meniscus cartilage in my left knee. Obviously my CRPS has gone into overdrive, I'm now back in my wheelchair and on two crutches. Can not even put weight on it. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience or had experience in serious relapses. Any help and advice would be much appreciated. I'm not in a good place and any advice would be great

Hi,
I have CRPS after a knee replacement in left leg, my symptoms have suddenly gotten worse and are now affecting my right leg and now I use my wheelchair full-time.
At first I struggled with not being able to use crutches at home but now I've accepted it and my shoulders dont play up as much, crutches put a lot of strain on our upper body.

I hope your flare up doesn't last too long
