A member asked:
Have crps. what kind of dr should i see. surgeon said that he cannot help me. who can help with the pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Non surgical CRPS: Since treatment of CRPS is normally not surgical, seeing an Interventional Pain Management specialist who is very familiar with treatment of CRPS, is recommended. You have options for long term management which does not involve addiction to medicines particularly narcotics. Topical & oral non-narcotic medicines, sympathetic nerve blocks, biofeedback, desensitization tx, neurostimulation etc.
