Hi @bear420 - Besides medication, they treat CRPS with nerve blocks, acupuncture, biofeedback, a pain psychologist, a social worker, and are connected with physical & occupational therapists who are really experienced in treating CRPS. I had a lot less pain when I was going there, but I can't afford it anymore (I have a bad insurance situation). The clinic is United Pain Center in downtown St. Paul, the doctor I saw there is Dr. Todd Hess. If you want to get a second opinion there, tell the desk you have CRPS because they treat a lot of other pain conditions.

I hope you find something that will help you. CRPS is awful. Hang in there!

I have tried nerve block and physical therapy but they did not help. Occupational therapy helps my hand some but lost most of my fine motor skills which sucks. My doctor's appointment went kind ok they did not confirm or deny that it was CRPS. In increased one of my meds back in two months see how I am doing. Another two months with screwed up eye balls and face. I am also on different medications to see if that helps out. Right now I can sleep for three hours instead of two.
