Hi,
My CRPS was not diagnosed until 14 months after my failed back surgery. 4 Spinal Fusions to cure Siatica. If I had never had surgery, which did nothing to help Sciatica, I would not have CRPS. I saw 15 doctors & PA's over that year and none would listen or acknowledge the CRPS. Finally my surgeon DX over the phone, like you I went on Google to view several different websites and realized I had every symptom including hair loss, sores all over my body, crowns & veneers coming loose, my right foot continues to swell and is always cold. My ankle has some paralysis making driving almost impossible.

I finally found a pain doctor that actually lists the condition on his website. I started PT & Chiropractor immediately 2 X a week for 4 months until UHC cut me off. I have new insurance starting JAN 1st so I hope to get back into the PT & Chiro.

I use a walker always at home because I have fallen several times due to feeling my right leg is shorter than my left so I trip. Last time resulted in a bruised rib on my left side which is very painful. We have removed all our throw rugs and I only wear "barefoot shoes", WateLves sold on Amazon.

Doctor is recommending SCS Spinal Cord Simulator, via Boston Scientific, which I will probably do the trial after the first of the year. I have heard positive things but not to expect 100% relief, 50 to 80%. I do not use pain meds, PT exercises help.

I wish you the best.
