CRPS Songbird, I've read SEVERAL posts of your's, just after a med change, saying that you feel a lot better, so 'hopefully' you now have decent pain control. Then, you go right back to activities that you KNOW can cause issues, like housework and work.

We ALL understand that there are things you WANT to get done. We just want you to understand that there are some things you may WANT to do, but may never be ABLE to do without causing extreme pain. That would not be unforseen. That's taking a risk and getting caught. Been there, done that.

Going slow to see IF you can build up your activity level does not mean waiting 24 hours or less, as you have just done. It means waiting a week plus, making sure that the level of pain relief is consistent, then adding ONE activity, like a little typing. If that works out okay, the next week try adding folding the laundry.

Finally getting control of the pain, then adding more activities will often require the use of MORE meds, which you just don't have.
