I'm sorry dear. ..but CRPS can go full body...it eats your nerves. .bone. ..tissue. ..skin everything then in goes to your internal organs. ...
Crps is the most painful disorder known to mankind. ....
Look up the McGill pain scale used by doctors. .... it's 42 out of 50 ...more painful than cancer. ....
Please look up Rsdsa.com or Rsdhope.com

Doesn't CRPS usually affect only 1 or 2 limbs? Fibromyalgia affects the entire body, and has an infinite number of issues/symptoms associated with it, which can often cause potentially harmful assumptions. Fibromyalgia also may tend to make other co-existing issues more challengin to treat.

I also have CRPS. mine developed after surgery. It affected the leg in which I had the knee replaced. This year I had to have surgery on the other foot. CRPS followed .I now have it in both feet. I take Tramadol and have a device implanted which helps with the nerves in the legs. I can actually have days that can forget I hurt. Not many, but a few.
