So. I had an interesting conversation with pain dr. this morning. He feels it may not be CRPS but nerve entrapment. Gah. I asked him about this back in freaking January. He didn't want to test for it then b/c the nerve conduction test is complicated and painful, and he was hoping he would "just get better". Meanwhile he's lost months with possible wrong diagnosis. Although maybe I should be excited that CRPS may not be the issue at all, I'm very skeptical. He was diagnosed by 3 different doctors as CRPS. He had extra hair/nail growth, purple or red discoloration, different temperature in bad foot, burning, spasming, stabbing, shooting pain, insomnia, bone density loss, muscle atrophy, excess sweating, etc. etc. etc.

Oh, and by the way, he feels there's nothing more he can do for him. Really? Seriously? I had to ask where do I go from here. They suggested neurology and PMR. I can't get him in to neuro for 6 weeks, and PMR for 3 weeks. Gah. I need a punching bag. I'm trying to get the pain dr. to ask neuro to see him sooner. If not, I'll try to get pain dr. to do the nerve conduction test, if he does them.
