Hi everyone

Today, after four years of "lower back pain with possible radiculopathy", I have been diagnosed with CRPS. My lower back and outer and inner thighs/groin burn all the time and I find underwear and waistbands particularly difficult. It's funny because a lot of the recommendations in the sticky thread are things I've already used without knowing I had CRPS, but I have noticed that most people have it in a limb. I wondered if anyone else had CRPS in their back, and whether they have any tips for me? Bedtime should be restorative and is not for me, I struggle to sleep for more than 2 hours and while lying helps my lower back pain, the burning skin sensations and hands and feet 'falling asleep' are particularly problematic.

Nice to meet you all

Kathy
