I have CRPS in one foot. I don’t take any medication other than Neurontin. I recommend to just walk and walk and walk even though it hurts it will get better. I recently was bedridden for 2-3 months and wasn’t able to move more than a fraction of what I used to. The pain got worse than it ever has been, and I had cramps and new symptoma that I never had experienced in the 20 years that I have had CRPS in my foot. It was hell. I even had to go to the ER for the first time ever because of how painful my foot was. Then I got better and was able to move more around, and the pain has subsided to the normal level of pain again. It hurts to walk, but the pain will get worse if you don’t walk.

You probably went into remission, I have Type 2 in both feet and legs and lower intestines, I'm also a male btw, going on 7 years now, I walk still I have okay days and bad days, but If I walk too much, too long, stand too long or sit too long or do too much, I'm in bed with 10+ pain for a month, nevermind flare ups. I assume 20 years you had type 2, but even type 2 can go into remission. I'm glad you escaped. But what worked for you may not work for others. I know better than to just keep walking and wake up the Demon.

I've done these blocks, ketamine infusions, lidocaine infusions, nerve blocks, spinal chord stimulator. My doctor retired leaving me without a doctor and no medicine in a horrible state and no doctor will take me on unless I do these things again. I have stage 3 crps and nothing has helped but medication so far. Do you think stem cell therapy, or Italy Tourism for crps treatment or nerve surgery would be better or doing stem cell?

I am terribly sorry to hear that. I don't know what course of action is best for you as I would need to do my workup and assessment on you. We have helped patients who have CRPS with our interventional and integrative approaches. If you'd like to see if we're a good fit to work together, you can find more info here - regenerativeperformance.com/contact

Interesting thanks. That nerve block is my next move. My orthopedic Dr (that does only regenerative medicines) now thinks I have CRPS. There is a pinched nerve at ankle (seen on ultrasound) but I did not respond to treatment, prolotherapy, which we did three times. I'll see if he adds ketamine to his sympathetic nerve block. Over 6 years now of nerve pain in foot and so many misdiagnoses.

Prolotherapy isn't done for nerves, so if there is a pinched nerve in the ankle, it's best to directly treat that with nerve hydrodissection.

@@DrewTimmermansND I did have another ND, do that--hydrodissection. I believe same ingredients, he injected inside ankle, he did not numb me first. He electrocuted me. The treatment did nothing except put the fear of him working on me again. I do have nerve pain all throughout my left leg. It moves, changes places, flares up, comes and goes. No rhyme or reason. So frustrating.

I'm sorry to hear that. It may be worth looking into seeing an integrative rheumatologist if the pain moves around like that

@@DrewTimmermansND I haven't hard of a "integrative" rheumatologist before. I have been mainly in the natural/alternative care field all this time trying to get help. I'll have to search my area and see if there is anyone. What do you think of ketamine?

I have had two nerve blocks for CRPS in my foot and they have decreased my pain level for 3 and 4 weeks. But not enough to allow me to walk again. I have no idea what medication was used. But the standard gabapentin, Cymbalta, Lyrica stuff doesn't help AT ALL. But the doctor told me the nerve blocks were temporary, usually helping for about a month. So I expected what I got.
