Hi all-I am new to the board and new to CRPS. I have just been diagnosed about three weeks ago after elective knee surgery and a nerve block for anesthesia (or lack there of, in my case). Anyway, my PMR doc is pushing for a sympathetic nerve block. Ironically, I am a neurosurgical ICU nurse by trade, so I am not afraid of the procedure itself. I am afraid of what it may or may not do for my condition. Any experiences or suggestions? Just got off steroids and am being trialed on Neurontin and Lyrica with Ultram-my mental state is shot due to all of these medications and all I can be is afraid. Hope someone feels like being the voice of reason for me.
Thanks for giving me a safe place to talk about this incredibly crappy condition with those who can relate. Lori Lee
