Second surgery for elbow 2/18/22. Pain much worse after 2nd surgery. Hand and wrist started swelling. 4/1/22 seggion diagnost me with CRPD. My pain DR. has had me on gabapentin 800mg. 3 times a day and several opiods but still in severe pain. I have not slept more tha 2 hours in a given night since March 10th. On 6/11/22 CRPD went from just being from elbow to finger tips to now totally knumb all the way up arm to entire left side of face and in last 2 weeks it has started impairing my vision of left eye. ER told me no stroke but CRPD expanding. I can not find any expert in Pittsburgh, Pa. area that will accept my Medicare insurence. Any idea's? I need Help! Darryl

Find an anesthesiologist that specializes in pain management. I am not sure if UPMC has anyone that is knowledgeable in CRPS.
