Just wanted to pop in with a quick update from my appointment today for anyone that is curious.

The MRI results were mostly normal except for some straightening of the spine that apparently indicates I have tendinitis in my left shoulder area (which they already know). They did the skin punch biopsy...ummm...OUCH is all I have to say about that. The doctor upped the dose of the Lyrica from 75mg to 100mg and also gave me a script for Lidoderm Patches...really hoping those can help with the pain in my shoulder and at least give me some relief because so far nothing seems to be. I didn't see the same doctor as before...he was out of the office today and another guy was covering for him. I see my doctor again in 3-4 weeks to go over the skin punch biopsy results and what the treatment plan is going forward. So...not much progress but at least they're trying something. This doctor did mention possible ketamine infusions in the future...but said that of course is up to my doctor who is the expert on CRPS.

It's been a bit of a rough week for me...hoping things start to improve soon. I know if I can just hang in there I will get through all of this...but gosh it feels like it is just taking FOREVER....
