Whew.....it's really hard to say, but in my case I believe there were many things that led up to my developing CRPS/RSD. I'm just being honest, and obviously no one can really know, but I believe it started with the initial break. That was a lot of trauma 12 1/2 years ago. BUT I did go to one pain management Dr. That said you typically develop CRPS within 3 months of the trauma. He definitely was the only one that ever said that. But just friend to friend it really does sound like you've been dealing with this a lot longer than just 11 months. I wasn't diagnosed until July 2014 but I had it a very long time before that. A great deal of studies say that it takes on average 3 years to get diagnosed. I don't know that it helps very much for me at least to try to figure out the hows and whens. It's a hard battle to fight though isn't it? I'm happy to hear you are able to move to a more user friendly home. We did that this summer, and just being able to get around in my wheelchair was huge, and then I learned how to walk again thanks to the set up of this home. I hope you find a great deal of peace and happiness there, and PS I think it is amazing that you are so kind to your husband's ex-wife. Moving is hard. Try not to be human and feel guilty about your husband or others having to carry the load of packing up and moving. I'm sure they are happy to help you in any way they can. Big fat hugs!
