Anyone out there have RSD/CRPS? What treatments/meds have you had that were helpful? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/228611'>Sliding Hiatal Hernia restrictions and fixes...?</a>.

I've been taking 150mg of diclofenac (split over 3 times a day), 600mg Tramadol ( again split up 3 times a day), 450mg Pregabalin (split up twice a day) & 60mg of dihydrocodine at night for about 5 months. I stopped taking the Tramadol 1 week ago and am having problems sleeping. I want to stop taking everything else., What symptoms am i likely to have if i just stop taking all these tablets in the morning.

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is now referred to as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Complex regional pain syndrome is a condition that is usually due to a soft tissue injury. Associated symptoms include abnormal skin color or temperature changes, abnormal sweating, and/or swelling of the affected extremity. The exact pathophysiology is unclear. It is likely due to an abnormal reflex arc from the sympathetic nervous system modulated by cortical pain centers, e.g.

I've been told that the difference between CRPS 1 (RSD) and CRPS 2 is 1 is due to an injury (I broke my left ankle and foot.) and 2 is due to specific nerve injury (I injured a disc in my C spine which injured the nerve roots to my arms.) I've also been told (from a different source) that CRPS 2 is generally a more aggressive, more severe form of the CRPS's - it spreads faster, and is much more difficult to treat. I'd like your opinion on the second statement. . .

( I used to clean houses and hit it pretty hard ) I was diagnosed with CRPS. My doctor put me on Lyrica. I had horrible side effects from it and had to stop taking it. I was also put on Perocet. Well I started to abuse the pain medicine and just recently got out of treatment for that. I am on Suboxone. It helps with the pain some. I'm back at work full time and having a hard time with the pain. But I don't want to take narcotis anymore.

If you have been diagnosed with RSD/CRPS, then you need to be seen by a RSD/CRPS specialist. This is a very complex disorder that few doctors have a grasp on. Yes, RSD/CRPS can cause problem with your skin. The RSD Foundation's Clinical Practice Guidelines says this: Skin changes - skin may appear shiny (dystrophy-atrophy), dry or scaly. Hair may initially grow coarse and then thin. Nails in the affected extremity may be more brittle, grow faster and then slower.

I am a very active healthy non smoking, non diabetic, non drinking 30 year old woman who has been given a diagnoses of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). I feel that the pain is more a result of the plate and pins but am being left in the dark by my surgeon. It has been 5 weeks since surgery and really am in desperate need of other prognosis. Thank you for your time and Help.

I have been recently diagnosed with CRPS in all 4 limbs, including my hips & part of my lower back. I had surgery in May on my shoulder for a worker related injury(which makes it way complicated). The symptoms started within days after surgery. I tried to get answers/help, to no avail: the drs feigned ignorance + said 1 thin & then @ the following appt - denied saying it + to being denied by Ins adjustor.

On this site, there have been many "unofficial grassroots" negative testimonials about so-called "safe" EMG testing.

Hi , I'm taking Gabapentin , generic for Neurontin . Yes it is helping me. I take a low dose of 300mg 3x a day. Without it my Chronic regional Pain Syndrome "CRPS" would take over my life. I Have my good and bad days. What have they diagnosed you with to give your this prescription. Do they suspect CRPS?

twist330, I have a friend who was misdiagnosed with various diagnoses, until she was finally diagnosed with RDS (CRPS). Sort of the reverse of your question. She feels confident that CRPS (which she calls "craps" with good humor) is the correct diagnosis in her situation. But if you're not reasonably confident in your diagnosis, then (IMHO) it's a good idea to present your doubts -- along with your reasoning behind the doubts -- to your doctor.

can anyone tell me what Lyrica is and Savella, in england Lyrica is a company who make a drug called Pregabalin,thats what i am on now,been back to doc 2day and he has give me a larger dose of pregabalin.

I have CRPS, and am goeing in tomarrow for sypathetic nerv block,cautious but hopeful.If this dont work where do I turn for the medications that I know work?

I am currently in the army awaiting a medical discharge and i tell you the worst place to live with CRPS is in the army, There is no support and there is very litle treatment options, I have no treatment options except pain killers.

I am a 49 year old male, currently under care for CRPS going on for 2 years, am disabled due to this. I have a mole behind left ear it is crusty bleeds and itches like mad sometimes. Also have a lump at the hairline aproxx 1 1/2 inches close to this mole it is hard and tender, has been there for a while now and is just now becoming tender to the touch, have lost weight about 24 lbs.

Are there any treatment options for CRPS or RSD other than painkillers or in combination with painkillers that can help someone who has had the disease for over two years? Does anyone have a story about CRPS or RSD that has a happy ending? What are the best medications and treatment options? Any information would be a really huge help. Currently I am taking Methadone, Lyrica, Cesamet, Baclofen, Citalopram as well as Hydromorphone for breakthrough.

What you describe sounds like you HAVE RSD/CRPS and the treatment (TENS/Lyrica) are treatments for RSD. Aggressive treatment for RSD/CRPS is what is critical. I was diagnosed with RSD 2 months after onset, but the docs refused treatment for another 5 months--now it seems to be a permanent condition. This was due to their ignorance, I believe. The best scenario for RSD/CRPS is aggressive early treatment; in many people this causes it to go away completely. Joshua Prager M.D.

Hi, have you visited a pain specialist to look into Complex Regional Pain Syndrome? (No scan can rule it out: https://radiopaedia.org/articles/complex-regional-pain-syndrome?lang=us) Or yourself looked into patient accounts on youtube or in blogs, and the treatments (some DYI) that worked for them? You don't necessarily have to officially have CRPS in order for CRPS treatments to work for you. CRPS (probably) involves the nerve tips where pain begins, and has an inflammatory component.

The only anti anxiety medication iv been on is pregabalin,was on it for over a year but it didnt really agree with me.im currently taking fluxoteine 20mg x 2 a day and cinerazine.Im looking for a anti anxiety drug to help stop this dizziness that iv had for over 2 years,im not looking for a "fix" but something to help me while i battle this anxiety and agoraphobia.Have you ever been on buspar?

His tumor was benign. As for the CRPS. There is a drug called Ketamine that they are using for CRPS. It may still be in clinical trials. It can totally cure CRPS but there are some risks to the drug. So, I don't know if you are willing to take the risks. Maybe you should read about the latest research. I think it is Dr. Praeger in Los Angeles. CRPS is a complication of having a carpal tunnel like syndrome or repetitive strain injury that gets worse over time if not handled properly.

What appears to me is the fact that you have moved towards CRPS (Complex regional pain syndrome). The cause of this disease is linked with short circuiting of the pain pathway, resulting into abnormal reaction to the pain stimulus or discomfort. What you must take care, is to break this barrier or nerve short-circuiting. Hence just continue on all the routine activities and increase the pain thresh-hold. If you start reacting to pain, then it wont help.
