Default A new diagnosis

I was diagnosed this past Monday with CRPS after having foot surgery October 29th. I feel I was having symptoms from the beginning but it took many months to finally have the doctor take the time to pay close attention to the symptoms and send me to a pain clinic for evaluation. I have been prescribed gabapentin, meloxicam, lidoderm patches and hydrocodone. I am scheduled to have a lumbar epidural on April 3rd. I have been going to physical therapy for eight weeks and am seeing some improvement of mobility and the severe swelling is subsiding. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am very nervous of what lies ahead, especially the epidural. Thank you so much.
