Hi
I was diagnosed w/CRPS 1.5 years ago. My pain is in my foot. ( no injury). I’ve been tried on gabapentin lyrica and now savella w/no help. I had sympathetic nerve block w
/relief & had a stimulator place a year ago ( my insurance paid). Stimulator decreased my pain a little. I’ve tried physical therapy, chiropractor and pain Mgmt. I find most doctors shrug their shoulders & don’t know what to do with me. This is extremely depressing and like you find many days don’t feel like eating. I went from being very active to unable to walk half a block. I hope you find some relief soon.

@misskit Welcome to Mayo Connect. You have been recently diagnosed with CRPS but you have found little relief from pain and, "most doctors shrug their shoulders & don’t know what to do with" you. You also were previous very active and now you are unable, "to walk half a block."
Mayo Clinic Connect is a place to connect with members like @misskit @faithwalker007 @missbiss @smallengineguy @csteel that have previously discussed this topic.
It sounds like you have tried physical therapy, chiropractor and pain management. May I ask if pain management is the same or similar to a pain clinic?

Don’t let your pain rule your life. Get a scooter for mobility if you don’t have one! Pain is not your life. CRPS is not you, it’s your diagnosis.
