I have CRPS that started in my left foot and has now moved over into my right leg and foot. I’m encouraging you to contact an anesthesiologist that specializes in pain management. I went the route having spinal cord implant through Boston Scientific. My recommendation is that you go see the specialist and talk to them about what your future holds. I contacted the mayo clinic down in Jacksonville Florida, and they gave me these guidelines after I had spoke with one of the nurses who sent me to the Neurologist department. I found my neurologist at the University of North Carolina, and they were absolutely fabulous. Insurance made me go to the route of taking gabapentin. And injections for pain. Neither one worked. I was given the option of numerous spinal cord implants and after doing a thorough study on them my husband and I decided the best route to go was Boston Scientific. Please don’t get discouraged with this disease. Just keep pushing forward to find your answers. Every doctor out there is going to tell you to stay off the website. My advice to you is to stay on the websites. I discovered that numerous neurologist are clueless about this disease. If you’re anywhere remotely close to the mayo clinic, my suggestion would be you make an appointment with them. Also go to “teaching” hospitals to find your physician.

Best of luck to you.
