I hope you aren't really serious about amputation.
It is not recommended for RSD/CRPS..at all.
Past posts mention the pain is still there /or phantom pain.

I don't think I am serious, but extremely frustrated. I know on the pain scale amputation is lower than CRPS, and the fact that I can't do work with my hands is what is really getting to me.

I grew up playing drums and guitar, I love to build things. I worked as an electrician, plumber, carpenter, steel shelve merchandiser (moved around the big shelves at Lowes and Home Depot). With the CRPS being in my dominant hand I can't have another surgery to fix the tendon that is preventing me from closing my hand. And now on top of it all my other hand starts burning as well.... getting super fed up at this point, it makes me an angry person and unfortunately I have snapped at my kids because of the pain.

Think I should also request an appointment with a shrink next time I call my lawyer (which will be Monday after the mail runs since w.c. is 3 weeks late with my weekly checks)

Please remember; CRPS is a neurological disease. This means that in the case of CRPS-RSD the disease resides in the brain, spinal cord, and the nerves running through the body. Where ever the pain is at is the symptom site. Amputation would not take the disease away.
