New to CRPS complex regional paint syndrome: want to talk

T2020 , I have been living with CRPS for 3yrs now and still trying to find an answer. Right now I am starting to look at spinal stimulator and a last resort but in the meantime I have found biofeedback to help me mentally on a daily basis. Have to keep positive thoughts and keep doing the things you love. Best of luck

Hi T2020.My name is Darryl. I have ha CRPS for a little over a year. Mine started with fall that shattered elbow. A year ago they had to remove all of the screws and plates. After second surgery the severe pain would not go away. Diagnost with CRPS from elbow to finger tips. In last 3 months CRPS has expanded up to side of my face. I , just this week, have been approved by my orthopedict surgeon to do a trial of a spinal stimulaor. I've been told that it will take about a month for the insurence to approve. After that I will do trial and if get 50 to 60 pecent pain relief will have permanent put in. In the mean time I am using Buprenorphine patches. Used for drug addicts. I started with 10 mcg and now on 15mcg/hour. It is helping a good bit except when I use arm to much.Maybe you shoul try. Good luck.

Thank you for sharing! You give me hope. It has been 6 months for me and I seem to get worse in some aspects and better in others.
