A member asked:
What is the next step if casting does not work for crps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Crps: Crps is mostly sympathetic nervous system mediated pain. Casting is not a treatment in fact the longer a limb is put to rest the more loss of muscle. Therefore the treatment should be sympathetic nerve block. Active physical exercise program and pain control to do it. Too long results in physical changes that are irreparable
