As a caregiver to a spouse who has serious CRPS, and became an amputee because of it...We have suffered excrutionately for 4 years... I am sure there are varying degrees out there, but his is probably one one of the worst. There are no words that can describe how I personally have felt about not being able to relieve his physical pain nor my personal emotional pain, night after night and day after day while mourning our inability to regain the future we dreamed of creating when marrying just 3 years prior to this happening. He cannot function, is bed-ridden, and suffers every waking moment. How is anyone supposed to do anything but endure a life like this? We are lucky if he doesn't destroy something in a day for the pain and anger it incurrs. No one can truly understand this.

One of the most difficult things about this disease is losing your friends.

Wow. I too have CRPS and Kiari malformation that required brain surgery. I admire you for the strength it must take to stay as positive as are. I know CRPS effects us all in different ways and I’m sure that our kiari/surgery have it differences too…. But I am trying happy to see you keeping your head up through it. It gives me a little more motivation to keep trying to claw my why out of my own personal hell. Keep up the great word

does using an ice pack help a little with CRPS in the shoulder?
