I have more time to research and consider it now, and I think it will help to get advice from this new doctor who has worked with many CRPS patients.

About Baclofen, it is one of the only medicines that helps me, but not so much with nerve pain, it helps with the spasms from muscle atrophy, and it doesn't make me fall asleep like other muscle relaxers. I did pass out from the pain last week, that is why I went to the ER. It hasn't been much better since, I got close to that level of pain today. I definitely do not feel safe driving lately.
Good luck with the specialst. Let us know what treatment options you learn of. It is hard to find a doc truly knowlegable about CRPS.
