Mild crps. sympt- burning pain, swelling, redness, red dots on skin, sensitivity. amitriptyline, physio- referred pain dr. does mild crps worsen?

Can be challenging: However, most cases of CRPS encountered in my practice are far from mild. Have you had a diagnostic sympathetic block to confirm? Also, amitriptyline is rarely an effective drug in CRPS, and drugs such as Lyrica, Savella, (milnacipran) Cymbalta, work far better. Please confirm your diagnosis via second opinion.
