I was diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome a year ago. It has since spread and I am experiencing a decline in my health at an alarming rate. I am hoping to talk to others that may have found relief.

Hi things are up and down all the time, but I try to keep going, but sometimes my body just doesn't feel like it. I'm sure u understand how that is. I looking into going to a specialist maybe in new York, I live in Philadelphia, but there are only a few people who even know what crps is… and with my other issues I feel ove gone as far as I can here with doctors. Thanks for asking how I am, usually people r afraid to ask…lol. How are you?
Renee again, stimulator wasn't bad. But expensive!!! Got really lucky with a great doctor who helped me with the cost. It's a in and out surgery, one day. The leads go in your spine, depending on where u needs the stimulation. Arms or legs. Then there is a generator in your butt, lol… it sends the signals to your spine. U control it with a ipod. I'm almost at the year mark and u just get used to it. Sometimes I still get healing pains in my back, but I'm glad I did it!
@sandytoes14 I tried the Fibro Malic and had no change with it. I know @lioness is helped by taking it. Also ginger makes my pain worse. Interesting how we are all so different. I am glad to hear the FibroMalic has helped.

Best luck on Monday. I hope you have a wonderful doctor to help and support you. Don't give up, just keep pushing on. It's horrible I know, but know your not alone!! And many others I've talked with feel the same way. Sometimes crazy, cause people don't believe you or sometimes u r even in 2 much pain to complain, I do that a lot! Keep a smile on your face. Renee

One of my doctors advised the stimulator but I haven't agreed yet. My health issues began with a bladder sling. What was involved in putting that in?
