I'm already a member. Just checking on new ideas. Scoliosis surgery as a teenager. Multiple spine surgeries, recently. Developed CRPS in right leg below knee, neuropathy in foot after recent spine surgeries. Developed an atypical femoral fracture in my left leg due to Prolia that I was taking for osteoporosis. Now I am feeling numbness in my left foot. I'm afraid it is now the beginning of CRPS in that foot. I'm taking Lyrica, Cymbalta, Alive, and a 5mg.and 10mg.dose of Oxycontin daily. Still doesn't take care of the pain. Just started taking MM drops under my tongue. Not sure how that is going yet. Obviously, I'm a little overwhelmed. Looking for new suggestions.

I have RSD same as you're. 5 years of level 5-7 pain on Subutex 2/day 8mg and 3600mg of Gabapintin daily. It helps but I never get lower than 5 pain. I am losing all memory short term. Really bad. I have had spine stimulator which did not work. What has helped and I had a lumbar ablation block treatment yesterday 8/9/17 and seems to be working. I have had them before no results. I will do follow up if u wish.
