Hi All,

My Dr has recommended I get an implanted port put in in my upper chest (I think they also call them Port-A-Cath) b/c every time I get an IV or blood drawn it causes a huge flare. I'm worried about this since it's surgery and also bc I have full body CRPS. I'm afraid it could cause huge flares in my chest region or something to that effect. Or that my body won't be able to handle this foreign object and the CRPS will go nuts.

If any of you have had a port put in since having CRPS, how has it gone? Did it cause a flare or cause the CRPS to spread?

Thank you for sharing!
