You can read in my signature it spread to my arms/hands in 2008. Well, I got treatment for that (salmon calcitonin). First the vice feeling and ice cold was up to my shoulder (esp. my right arm). Then after months of the injections (and not quitting after 3 months), the cold was up to my elbow.

Then it took about a year for the cold to get out of my arm completely.

It is not stable, however. And when I type, I feel it, believe me I feel it! Esp. the stiffness in the joints (up to the shoulder) and movement of the fingers.

But it got better, thank GOD!

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do a thing for the mobility in my legs, not that I notice it making a difference. I still get flare-ups too (just got over one in the last couple of weeks). It keeps my temperature more regulated, which is an altogether *great* thing.

Anyway, that's my experience.

In CRPS it's important to treat the symptoms, and for bone density and bone health, sorry, but you need a rheumatologist referral.
