I am so sorry to hear it has kept spreading! It horrible enough to have it in one spot. There's not much I can advise there. But my fiancé has severe kidney issues as well. The last ones he had to have surgically removed. Something that can help prevent kidney stones is avoid foods that are high oxalate.

Here is a link of some food to avoid. This doesn't completely solve the problem but can help prevent some of them!

here is another link with ways to help prevent them naturally.

I know it's not much but I hope it can help a little. I have seen how much suffering they can cause and hope you can find a little relief!

On another note. Thank you for your service to our country. I can't imagine how hard it is to have CRPS as a result from that service. All I can say is I personally appreciate all the men and women who have served and protected our rights and dreams.

Darn it I wasn't done typing sorry! I hit enter too soon!

. When you have CRPS and you under go ANY type of surgery your doctors must be VERY careful!!! A CRPS patient requires extra care with anesthesia and after care to help prevent to spread. I unfortunately amd pregnant and having a miscarriage. To prevent the spread, they are "assisting" the miscarriage. CRPS is horrid, having a miscarriage is too. To have them combined has been a nightmare of emotions. The anesthesia had to be done carefully and very very thorough. Otherwise it can spread. If you can I would see if you can be covered to go see a specialist for CRPS and see if they can find a correlating cause with either the condition or maybe your medications? They could be causing your body to improperly absorb oxalates and calcium.

this is a link of how to find CRPS specialist in your area

Thanks for the links in your reply. I have followed articles closely like that with my doctors guidelines for the past two years and nothing has seemed to help. As for a thank you for my service, no thanks is needed. It was something that I enjoyed doing so that you and yours can have the freedoms that we have today.
