Hi Geronimo,
Thank you so much for your reply — I can’t believe how alike our stories are. It's really encouraged me to seek a second opinion. I actually tried to send you a direct message but couldn’t figure out how to do it.

I wanted to ask: do you think you have CRPS, or were your symptoms more related to the initial fracture and the surgery? How are you feeling now?

I worry that doctors can be quick to give a diagnosis without taking the time to thoroughly investigate things. I really appreciate hearing your experience. Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Catukf,

I was ultimately diagnosed with CRPS, but I think the diagnosis will soon no longer apply since my most recent surgeon seems to have identified the underlying causes and operated to resolve them. I do believe that this diagnosis is often given out often when MDs can't identify the underlying cause(s) and without sufficient investigation.

I feel so much better now. My pain is 95% gone and I am gradually regaining my range of motion with the support of a really talented OT.

I will message you in case you'd like to chat further:)
