I was diagnosed with CRPS ( complex reginal pain syndrome ) on or around august 15th or so. I had my left foot crushed at work on March 31st 2014. I went to a bone and joint clinic at first until my doctor realized it was nerve damage. He sent me to a neurologist , and he immediately sent me to a pain management doctor . I'm on gabipentin , oxy codone, meloxican , and amitriptyline and Tizanidine . To be honest non of it really works, and I'm still in crippling pain. I have a nerve conduction test sceduled as well as an injection in my back to deaden the sympathetic nerve that runs from my back to my foot. I also cannot walk at all. I cannot put over twenty pounds of pressure on my foot before I pass out. I am in pt, but it's external painful and my foot shakes with tremors that then spread up my leg and then to my left hand. Is there anyone out there that can give me some advice?

Hi Jodu, welcome.

I see you've already been referred to the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD and CRPS) forum. When you get there, you might ask about/look into a prescription compounded pain relief cream.
