When Pain Management Specialists Say No, when Doctors say No, when you travel hundreds of miles for no help, when you pays hundreds of dollars in co-payments as you walk out the door - anger and frustration builds and gives you pain gains and flare ups. CRPS GIVES you Anxiety, DEPRESSION and PTSD, while each one Escalates Pain in a Comorbidity Loop. Not to mention Insomnia which No Physician or Psychiatrist will treat because the PAIN is causing the Insomnia. This leads to more PAIN>SO many different Meds tried - So many detrimental Side Effects just making my life worse. From Day 1 never had an Opioid trialed by these many Medical Experts who know NOTHING about CRPS Type 2. So no I am in END STAGE 4 CRPS after 8 years. I am very pleased to hear that you are experiencing some relief and I understand that you have gone through a lot in you quest for Pain Relief. Good Luck in the future but please understand that many Pain Patients are treated like crazy criminals, including me. We are just trying to experience some Quality Of Life and rejoin the Human Race. Pain HURTS, do not give up hope that scientist will find an answer to give Pain Patients a medication that works without side effects and addiction. Pain Patients are NOT RESPONSIBLE for the War on Opioids.We are suffering from Friendly fire...Here is a photo of my last fall just a month ago which also produced my twelfth concussion. An athlete until 58, I am a Pain Warrior with lots of pain and Doctor experience. Thank you to all the Real Physicians, Psychiatrists and Psychologists, friends and family who have helped me throughout my life and career. Thank you to the women in my life who helped me to be the BEST that I can Be. Love Craig

Thank you for posting Craig. I’m sorry for the way you have been treated. I agree with what you have to say bits awful how pain patients are treated.
It’s just inhumane as you very well know. And, should not be!
