The problem with an amputation is that they can never get to the end of the CRPS. What I mean by that is, CRPS is a neurological disease. It resides in the brain, the spinal cord, and every nerve running through our bodies. Our CRPS diseased brains connect to our CRPS diseased spinal cords, which run down the length of our bodies, which have diseased nerves all along the column, which connect to our CRPS diseased feet, or CRPS diseased arms, or legs. So, that CRPS infected limb would have to be cut off along with the CRPS infected brain, along with all of the CRPS infected nerves. CRPS manifests it's symptoms in different parts of our bodies (the pain, the swelling, etc.) that is if I understand what I've been told correctly. In other words, CRPS doesn't have a cure, not even an amputation will end it.
