Wondering if there is any information on PTS evolving into CRPS due to a DVT that takes 8 months to resolve or if an early diagnosis and treatment of CRPS (1 month of symptoms, treated with sympathetic nerve blocks, physiotherapy then peripheral nerve blocks within 3 months of diagnosis) is affected by the presence of large DVT ? Typically, early intervention has good outcomes.

Hi @andylynn, Welcome to Connect. I think you are right, early intervention and detection typically has good outcomes. Your questions are well thought out and ones that if it were me, I would take to my primary care doctor or care team to see if they have some thoughts. I did find an article that is similar to what you are asking that might provide more information and another one from 2014 on early detection.

-- Predictors of long-term post-thrombotic syndrome following high proximal deep vein thrombosis: a cross-sectional study:

-- Dermatological Findings in Early Detection of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome:

Are you still being treated for Post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) or is it watch and wait?
