RSD/CRPS

I called the Mayo Clinic in Fl. Told them I have CRPS. They were able to direct me to the University of North Carolina to The anesthesiologist/pain management department. Check your teaching universities.

I strongly encourage you to find an anesthesiologist/pain management doctor rather than fooling around with just a “pain management physician”. I went to a pain management physician and he didn’t even spend five minutes with me before announcing he was giving me a Botox injection. He just herd the patients in and out. No questions asked. I left without the injection. I wanted to know what it would do to me. Do your homework. Botox weakens the muscle.

I have used a Sprint implant for 60 days and it helped immensely. It’s not a permanent “fix”. It was used to see if they could get the communication going in the nerves plus I got some relief. This company is out of Beachwood Ohio. Call them. I am currently waiting to get a Boston scientific implant into my spine.

Remember one of the best things you can do for CRPS is to make sure you get a good nights sleep. The other thing that I am being told is keep it moving. I’m working on it. Use a pool of you are able. Lose weight, too.

Thank you kindly @grannyzoo !! I live in SC and my brother lives in NC, so the trip would not be far for me if I ended up going there. MUSC is here in Charleston, a top-notch teaching hospital. I will likely reach out to them for any options they might have...thank you. Moving is definitely the key, some days are a lot harder than others, though. But, the sun's still up'n shining, so what do I have to worry about? 🙂

@grannyzoo I could not agree more that one of the best things to do for CRPS is get a good night sleep, and keep moving. Yes! And eating a proper diet to be proactive for your body to function healthier. Physical fitness, cardio, emotional and behavioral strategies and support, plus reducing or omitting chemicals and injections that affect nerves tissues and cells further causing distress to our bodies.

Whew, it's a package deal managing chronic pain. Great suggestions @grannyzoo!

Thank you!

Can’t get back into the blog. Have tried resetting my password about 5 times. Something is wrong on the Mayo end. Needs a computer doctor! 😂

Hi @grannyzoo. What blog are you trying to get into? Is it a Mayo blog? Because if you’re able to talk to us in this forum, you should also be able to connect to any blog in our Mayo site.

I share your frustration when internet ‘things’ don’t go smoothly. We have computer gurus here so let me know exactly what blog you’re trying to access. Can you cut and paste the address for me?

Calling @johnbishop for IT support. He's a wiz!

My password isn’t taking for the blog. CRPS
