Hi, sorry it's taken me a couple days to get back to you. I'm not sure about advancements Mayo Clinic has made on stem cell research for CRPS but I will do a little research and see if I can find you information. I'm sorry to hear the CRPS is advancing but I'm super glad that you are working with a psychologist. Have you ever considered a spinal cord stimulator which is implanted for chronic pain?

I did try a spinal cord stimulator trial made by Abboit,sp?, in mid November but it did not work. Of course the doctor, whom is supposed to be the best around here, want's me to come and try another manufacturer, but my attitude is that if he felt another manufacturer would help , he would of used it the first time. Just trying to make money!
I also heard from a close friend of my sisters today, That she see's the same doctor I am supposed to see on 1/9/23 that she see's him for knee pain and doubt's if he will know anything about CRPS. Another road block but I'll keep the appointment unles I can find anyone else.
I know that I should be going to a Mayo facility but my financesses will not permit. Thank's for listening. Darryl
