My father has had CRPS for 15 years, strongest person I know. I respect him so much. I have a pain condition as well and I don’t know … I look up to him. Always have and always will. ❤️

I am 68 and have lived with CRPS since I was 24. A nurse with a serious back injury, I woke up from my 3rd back surgery with a bright red swollen fire breathing dragon on the end of my leg rather than a foot. It was still called causalgia by my dr in 1979 but he knew what it was. I was diagnosed in day 1 but there was no treatment. And disability, poverty, pain and crutches and gootdrop became my life. I eventually went into a sort of a bit of a remission after 25 years with spread to my right foot, but covid spread it up to my hips. Back to crutches and now trying to be able to be mobile again with a wheelchair. I have it in my colon, larynx and ribcage. Potentially my heart as well with what they are calling POTS. Who knows. Its been my entire life. Nobody understood CRPS at the time. I was told it was a life sentence. And niw except for preventing spread to my arms, there is no treatment aftr 4+ decades.

I have never met anyone who has had it more than 44 years. I wish someone, esp Spiro clinic, would use me to see if anything can be done in later stages or even study my MRIs etc. I'm having a 3 phase bone scan next week pre knee replacement. My last one is what took me out if remission. Thank you for this short.

Would it come up in genetic tests? Is it autoimmune?

I have CRPS, I really wish the doctor would remove my entire leg.

You kinda just have to rule everything out
