Hello everyone. I am 25 year old male, recently diagnosed with causalgia, also known as complex regional pain syndrome in the second stage. I had a bmx accident december 5th, and due to crummy doctors at the time, was walking around with a shattered hamate hook for 4 months. After I found the right ortho, he replaced the hamate and I soon developed the symptoms of crps at a fast pace. I was sent to a pain management doctor who promptly gave me a diagnosis, and we are attacking this aggressively. I hope I can share info on my condition, as i know there is lots to learn. Thank you all and best wishes.

Hi Morgan, Welcome.

I don't have CRPS, but from what I've learned from other members who do, aggressive treatment ASAP is the best route to recovery.

If you haven't found it yet, there's a forum specific to RSD and CRPS here:

Best wishes,

Doc
