I don't know if that is it. CRPS is still a nerve related disease. As is neuropathy. There are a lot of different avenues of research ongoing trying to find something that will totally or partially cure neuropathy. They just are having a hard time cracking it. The nervous system is, along with the endocrine system, probably the most cryptic system in the body. As much as they have studied it, the science of the brain is still in its infancy, and nerves are just brain matter scattered throughout the body. They might stumble onto something however, and that is my hope, such as all of this talk lately about pirenzepine and how it "might" be able to reverse or at least prevent neuropathy. I feel that something will come along in the remainder of my lifetime. There is A LOT of money at stake if they find something good. Believe it, they want to. But in the meantime there is just the same mediocre treatments they've been pushing for years unfortunately. Best, Hank

Neuropathy is what my hubby has in his feet and hands. I have in fingers because of my carpal tunnel but unfortunately that it not what I have in my feet, back, legs and arms.
CRPS causes what it is called windup. The pain - nerve in nature- begins in my feet or back. My feet feel like they are on fire. Have you ever burned your finger? Had a severe case of case of sunburn? Felt that deep burn when you put ice cold feet in burning hot water? That’s what I’m about except it doesn’t go away. Add tingling like you’re slapping a foot that’s waking up after it’s been frozen for a long time. Then pile on sciatic pain slicing down the back into the heel into the toes along the outside of the foot.
Repeat this in the other side in a quarter measure and in the back at half measure. The right shoulder only acts up if it’s been maneuvering heavy heavy objects since I can’t use my back or Legs to lift anything mainly because I have a torn labrum from my two manipulations to release the frozen shoulder five years ago.
I refuse to let anyone touch it.
Do I want help?
The truth? No I want action. I want to see results. But then again that’s my problem.
