Not definite: Hopefully you are in treatment since early (3 months) efforts are sometimes able to slow or avoid the condition's advance. The progress has been seen as less time related than had been thought. Get the best care possible. Read this and see the doctor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_regional_pain_syndrome I wish you well.
