Hi ,
Wishing you all less pain and lots of healing. I’m new here and newly diagnosed with CRPS. I’ve been reading a ton- learning as much as possible. After a doctor seemed clueless about CRPS ( though did concur with CRPS diagnosis), I found one that is consulting with me soon. He seems like he is very versed in CRPS. I do not have pain -only extremely stiff finger joints and immobility of wrist and fingers, shiny stretched skin on my dominant hand. I had the intense on fire with entire body trembling, burning (13 on pain scale) when too tightly casted and then wrapped too tight after surgery. I’m hoping to not ever experience that again. It began after a simple wrist fracture that was casted wrong ( had dropped hand and palsied arm). I’m an active person yet didn’t get out of bed for 2 months.

Hello @livelifes and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That is great news that you have found a doctor well-versed in CRPS and that you are meeting with him soon.

Your wrist cast was casted too tightly and that was the cause for you? How soon after being casted did you experience the symptoms set in?
