CRPS - Any help with regards to this procedure would be greatly appricated
 

Does anyone know anything about a continuous cervical epidural (outpatient procedure hooked to a pump for 1-week, then removed) and how it is used for treatment of CRPS???? My PM doc has told me that because I am in the early stage (3 1/2 months) that because the nerve blocks did not work that this was the next step to go to. I have been diagnosed with generalized crps, affecting both lower and upper and parts of my face. Ketamine really didn't work.

I'm really confused and all I can find is information on how this procedure will help with physical theraphy. I have full range of motion of all my parts, so is my PM doc out of line here?????? I am also concerned about making the CRPS worse in the event it doesn't work from the procedure itself.

ANY information would be greatly appricated.

Thank you,
Denali
