so anyone had CRPS? left hand 11 weeks after surgery (tendon, no nerve damage)
could be worse, could have got a staf infection and lost my arm
At the moment it's not to bad. Scary reviews on the net though
Sorry mate.
I don't have it, but it's one of those diseases conditions that most Drs. don't know how to cure and it's rare enough for the pharma industry not to care. That unfortunately means you're going to have to join us who have to treat our own conditions.
There'll be a fair amount of trial and error but if you're dedicated enough you'll get there.
my uncle got golden staff when he had a knee replacement.
They took knee out & filled the ends of the bones with concrete & had to drain it for nearly a year before they put knee back in . Not very pleasant
Had to look it up
"What is complex regional pain syndrome?
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition most often affecting one of the limbs (arms, legs, hands, or feet), usually after an injury or trauma to that limb. CRPS is believed to be caused by damage to, or malfunction of, the peripheral and central nervous systems. The central nervous system is composed of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system involves nerve signaling from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. CRPS is characterized by prolonged or excessive pain and mild or dramatic changes in skin color, temperature, and/or swelling in the affected area. "
When I broke my back in 3 places and got totally farked over in surgery... I woke up and my right leg was paralyzed, foot swollen up, an off white color, it buzzed, it left a white fine powder like talc in my thongs and didn't perspire (still doesn't)... quite weird like putting a sock on a manikin.
It's much better, but still much more sensitive to hot and cold... and the buzzing still there.
But I managed to ~ the severe cramps I was getting with AAKG en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arginine_alphaketoglutarate
I will never forget your injury photos and tale of recovery! Turned me off paragliding forever. good to see you have recovered
