Welcome Straker. Sorry to hear you've been suffering for so long. We have a lot of people in this forum that have many combinations of the symptoms/ situations you described. I do hope you stick around to get support and really great information from everyone here because you're right, it can make one feel absolutely mad!

Hello fellow UK member!
I havent yet been diagnosed officially - dr's playing human tennis with me for the last 3 or 4 years (im the ball in the game of tennis by the way!) and now i have had a dr looking at CRPS as a diagnosis as a pose to TOS, but im not convinced.

Who did u manage to see in the Uk to get your diagnosis?

Ps - if u have the energy, take a look through the threads on here and the others stories - its a very supportive community and has got me through some very frustrating times this year! If anything else its just nice to know there are others out there with this problem.
