CRPS: CRPS has a very complex etiology and is difficult to treat in most cases. Spinal cord stimulation is one of the most effective treatments available. A good exercise program should also help significantly. Please see a pain specialist who is qualified to implant a spinal cord stimulator. Good luck.
