@asteeleks I’m sorry you’re going through this.

One thing I’ve learned while researching CRPS is how important it is to have the diagnosis confirmed using the Budapest Criteria by a physician familiar with the condition.

Many patients spend years trying different pain management approaches without ever discussing all of the evidence-based treatment options available internationally.

Even if someone ultimately decides not to travel for treatment, I think understanding every available option allows patients to have a much better conversation with their own specialist.

Wishing you the very best.

Hello @crpsneridronate, Welcome to Connect. Thank you for sharing your experience. I was not familiar with the Budapest Criteria for diagnosing CRPS. Since new members are not allowed to post links for a short period of time, I thought I would share a few references for others who may not have heard of the criteria for diagnosing CRPS.
-- Appendix 3Research diagnostic criteria (the ‘Budapest Criteria’) for complex regional pain syndrome: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK464482/
-- How is CRPS Diagnosed?: https://www.burningnightscrps.org/crps/crps-information/how-is-crps-diagnosed/

How long have you been dealing with CRPS?
