Hot water soaks with good old fashion epsom salt. Not scented just regular old every day stuff. It helps some with the swelling and stiffness. Try your hardest to keep moving the affected areas no matter how much it hurts. The old adage of use it or lose it is real for us. I have it in my left leg. It hurts to walk at times. Keep as positive as possible. Depression makes it worse also. When you hurt you get depressed, which makes you hurt more. They feed off each other. I take a lot higher dose of Vitamin C right now because I had a C Section almost a month ago and I don't want this disorder to spread to the incision site. Also remember everyone's CRPS is different. Mine doesn't act or look the same as yours does. Educate yourself as much as possible so you know what the new treatments are and if they might help you. Don't trust the Dr's to be educated in this disorder even if they are a PM Dr. The first PM Dr I went to only treated with injections not meds also. The one I have now treats with both. Also if they push for surgery not just a sympathetic block find a newmdr. Make sure all of your Dr's coordinate with each other. That way you get the best treatment for both of your conditions, the migraines and your CRPS. Good luck and I am praying for you. Since it was caught early you have a higher chance of going into remission.
