A member asked:

I have crps. would a pain management doc be good to visit? i only have bad pain in spurts for about 5 min 4 times a day.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doing quite well: The CRPS seems uniquely benign, and would definitely try to avoid heroic interventions, but perhaps this is due to an alternative diagnosis, and worth checking more fully. Perhaps try a consultation with pain specialist and consider further testing.
