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:)

Hi Geronimo. I am so, so pleased to hear your news! Our situations are more alike than I thought. Please see my "Update" comment below. And after doing extensive research, it seems that 60% of patients are missed-diagnosed with CRPS. I feel it's important to get the word out.

Best wishes!
