Welcome Keith!
I'm pretty new here myself, but it is a wonderful place for support and information! I too have CRPS from broken wrist and surgery in December.
I was switched from Gabapentin to Lyrica. The side effects are similar, but the Lyrica makes me less "queasy". I had the dose lowered to 50 mg. and they want me to work up to 3 per day, but 2 is the most I can handle so far.
If I wait to take second one at bedtime it's easier to function but it's harder to get up and going in the morning.
My Dr. recommended supplementing with Vit. C, magnesium, and D3 is supposed to help keep the bone from being affected.
Keep us posted and welcome!

Thanks guys.

It's too soon to say if there is any change with the lyrica as it's only been a short time. I'm just hoping that it'll make a difference.

Thanks for the advice on the supplements. I'd been taking vit c but will get some magnesium and D3 as well.

HI everyone, Im Shirley
I was Diagnosed with RSD about 7 months ago after a car accident that resulted in a fracture and a slipped disc of my L5 S1. I woke up one day with horrible pain in both legs and back, it hurt to bear weight, it hurt even to touch my legs or even have a blanket rubbing up on my skin. I had uncontrolled twitching in my legs and even had blotcy purple skin. The DR's took 5 days of me being admitted in the hospital for them to diagnose me with RSD. Since that day, I experience pain and burning and stabbing all day every day. It's kinda hard when those around you dont understand the type of pain I'm in every day. Im just looking for someone to talk to about this.
THANKS!
