CRPS - What to expect? How to cope / quell my worries?

@archaicsilence hey pal, I’ve been suffering from a foot injury for over 2 years and it nearly turned into CRPS but we started treating that aspect of it just in time, before it got to that stage.
My PT, who knows a lot about the science of pain and pain processing, mentioned to me today actually when I saw her that CRPS isn’t irreversible. It’s just really hard to treat. Also, upon googling a little, it says most cases resolve eventually. 15 is also very young, so I’d say have hope—it’ll probably be easier for you to heal than other older people—and even more importantly, find someone who knows how to treat this stuff. The sooner the better I think. It’s basically nervous system hypersensitivity and dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system, from my understanding. My PT is Ingrid Anderson in Atlanta. Maybe give her a call and ask what to do. She’s very good/reputable from what I’ve heard. See if she’ll do an online appmnt with you just to tell her what’s happening and have her point you in the right direction

@nezir99 hey! I appreciate the advice 🙂 its been a while since I made this post so there's been a lot of progress since then. The CRPS spread all the way up to my hip and was making a lot of things so much harder on me, but I went to Scrambler Therapy last month and did two weeks worth of treatment and it basically got me back down to almost pain free with just some in my ankle. I think the 2 years worth of strain and walking bad and whatever really messed up my knee though because it's been giving me a lot of problems since I was treated, but I recently got in with a new Pain Clinic (since insurance cut my last one off. three cheers for that :/) and I go up for the first time next month to hopefully get some help getting me back to a more "normal" state or like, at the very least able to do things i wasnt able to do before 🙂 theyre gonna check my knee out and everything too, so im a lot more hopeful now than i was last year. still a bit nervous but the scrambler therapy brought down my pain so much that its got me feeling up. 😀
