Knowledge is power so do your research and find competent professionals to help you. Be sure that the ones you choose have experience with CRPS (ask them point blank) as it is possibly one of the most misunderstood conditions of the human body.
It is best treated by a "multi-disciplinary" approach. I have CRPS in my foot so my primary CRPS doctor is my podiatrist. I also have my GP who handles certain issues like nausea, etc. Add a chiropractor and a pain management doctor to the team and that is how I am handling this condition.
There are lots of things that are similar here for many and you will also find that there are things that seem like they may be absolutely "unique" for you.
Taking some vitamin C daily is a practice that many of us abide by. There is some evidence that it can prevent spread of CRPS. I take 500 MG daily.
Good luck and keep us posted!

Thank you,
I am in the process of finding a neurologist , someone for pain management and they want me to talk to a psychologist as well. so right now kinda a waiting game, but day by day... right ? I started taking 1000mg of vitamin C for the past few days, also a supplement called Nutri Calm to try and help curb some stress. Will let you know if it helps.
