I was diagnosed with CRPS in my left shoulder. Has anyone ever had it in their shoulders. I had it in my ankle when I was 13 and it went into remission and now it’s back. I feel almost like I’m being bullied by my doctors. I had a nerve block in my neck to see if it would help and while I was waking up the doctor told me the next one he wants me to do while I’m awake with a local anesthetic. I thought he was crazy. I had a panic attack when they went for the IV. Now I’m not a baby when I come to needles, it was the thought of them navigating through my neck with a needle. Later while I was at physical therapy my physical therapist informed my mom that I should probably see a counselor and that the doctor who did my nerve block doesn’t think it CRPS. So can you help me understand why he would want to do another never block if it’s not CRPS and why awake. My PT says it’s rare to have it in the shoulder because it usually goes into the hands and feet. I’m very frustrated and tired of hurting.
