God bless you. I have CRPS too and about to start a 14 week treatment program at the SPERO Clinic in Fayetteville Arkansas. They seem to have great success treating it. No meds, two stimulators, countless nerve blocks, ketamine infusions all fell short. May God bless you and heal you.

I have a friend who was diagnosed with CRPS at 11. She was also diagnosed late, and doctors tried for over a decade to try to manage the pain. She decided on a below knee amputation and is now pain free. She was not a functional person towards the end of her CRPS, and everyone now agrees she is finally living.

You have peripher neuropathy which can be treated surgically in many cases. See the study by Dr. Lee Dellon Surgical treatment of CRPS of the upper and lower extremities. I was unable to walk for 27 years. I walked the day after my surgery by Dr. Tim Tollestrup in Las Vegas. He is the top chronic pain focused peripheral nerve surgeon. See my video: CRPS a pain Gone After 27 Years. Contact me for more info.

I was diagnosed with Type 2 CRPS about ten years ago, it began in my left foot and quickly got to the point where it was affecting both feet. I was told I was lucky because I got some relief taking Tramadol 24/7, I know many have no such luck. When Covid hit I began taking 5,000 itu's of vitamin D3 on a daily basis, as a result I am now COMPLETELY pain free, I'll say it again, COMPLETELY pain free, and I have not touched painkillers for well over 2 years. It took about 3 months to notice my pain was decreasing, and another 2 for it to disappear completely. Please, please give this a try, you have nothing to loose and everything to gain, especially as most will be very D3 deficient. If your not on Warfarin take it with vitamin K2, this will help your body fix the calcium in your bones. Take it with fatty food, it is a fat soluble vitamin. I hope this helps somebody, I have my life back, it would give me great joy if this helps anybody else.

I was diagnosed with CRPS 3 years ago and I have fibro. I was diagnosed 6 years ago with Fibromyalgia. I cut my right middle finger on the knuckle down to the bone. I had surgery and my middle finger, ring finger and pinky finger on right hand are frozen now. My index finger on this hand is a "trigger" finger now. This is a horrible, painful condition! I'm 55 now. It has spread to my whole body now. I take pain meds to try to cope. I have all the symptoms in this video but worse. My muscles are wasting away and I'm exhausted all the time. I have tolerable days. But mostly, it's excruciating. Nobody knows this level of pain unless they experience it. 🥺

In 2010 I was diagnosed with RSD/CRPS after a trauma to my arm. Since then it has spread to my jaw, and my legs. Before drs kept telling me I’m crazy, I’m imagining it and so on. I was always told you LOOK fine, nothings wrong with you. They did spinal nerve blocks and was about to do a spinal cord pace maker, I refused it.I was put on highest pain meds allowed, was on 5 seizure meds as well. Nothing worked for me.No one knows the pain except us diagnosed with it. Life is very hard with it but I trek on, I refuse to let it run my life and control every aspect of everything. We with RSD/CRPS we are truly fighters and warriors.

Very good video. Don’t let CRPS take you down. It wants to cripple and disable you. Movement and exercise is also a key as shown in the video. Bisphosphonates are the best “cure” currently available for those in early stages of this disease. Look into this, it’s the best hope we have. Neridronate worked for my wife who was in stage 2. She’s very close to full remission. Research Neridronate in Italy or look into Pamidronate here in the US. Ask your pain clinic doctor about administering it. We’ve had both. The Pamidronate certainly helped but the Neridronate was the silver bullet. Our insurance also paid for the Pamidronate infusions. Italy was out of pocket, but it can be affordable to most. God bless

Greg Bisesi I was just diagnosed on 1/8/19 with CRPS of the left leg after I tore my meniscus. Mine seems to be aggressive right now , as it has spread to my entire left leg and left hip , and both feet And now I’m having issues with an increasing heart rate and blood pressure. I was started right away on nortriptaline and lyrica and they both failed due to side effects I couldn’t handle . I got three days of relief and then it came back with a vengeance. I’m unable to work , and now we have a new treatment plan of bisphosphonates ( fosamax ) I’m three days still waiting for this med it’s out of stock . And also Ativan to keep my nervous system in check I really hope this new med puts me into remission.
@gregbisesi99665 жыл бұрын
Emilios Mom I’m sorry to hear of your CRPS and your suffering. My wife Wendy contracted this disease over 3 years ago after a foot injury and 5 subsequent surgeries. My wife says that lyrica was the Devil for her too. She also did not tolerate the nortryptyline very well either. And she says she’ll stay in pain before she would agree to 2 weeks of ketamine ever again. That stuff literally made her crazy. I’m glad you’re considering bisphonates. Oral bisphonates can sometimes not be tolerated well. But I hope they work for you. Wendy has had 2 Neridronate treatments in Italy and initially had a round of Pamidronate here in Utah. We are 4 months out from her last treatment in Genoa. She is doing much better. Has some joint and bone pain from the med which is a side effect that can be made worse in our cold winters. But she is back snow skiing, hiking and training to fast walk a half marathon in May. She was a active athlete and bodybuilder before the disease from hell affected her. Even though we feel most of the CRPS is gone, the damage to your brain, nervous system and the nerve and circulation damage to her foot, we are still dealing with and still doing various treatments for. Oh and Wendy also had about 5 episodes of tachycardia, which was incredibly frightening for her. Fortunately those stopped after her initial Neridronate treatment in Verona Italy. I wish you all the luck in the world with your treatment and success getting rid of this horrible disease. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if we can help in any way. If the fosamax does not give the desired results, I can give you information to our pain clinic doctor who gave the Pamidronate infusions or if your doctor will administer the Pamidronate, I can send you the Italian protocol that our physician used. Do not let your physician use the failed U.S. trial protocol. Or if you are interested in Neridronate we can give you info and what we paid on the two facilities we used in Italy. Or best wishes to you and God bless you in your journey back to normal. Greg & Wendy ([email protected])

Why is she wearing glasses only at work?! Even when driving a car she doesnt use them... The glasses dont seem to correct a lot... you clearly see that when you look in the glasses that her facelines are undistorted, With these large lenses, you would expect some distortion.... It is almost as if the glasses are “fake” (i.e. not providing any correction)

Thank you for your very unkind comment on my looks. This just shows everyone that you are a bully and you are just as bad if not worse than the people who comment on my disability. For your information I am short sighted. I do need to wear glasses but I can also where contact lenses when I want... I'm not sure why you think my face would need to be distorted due to having to wear correctional glasses. There are many different prescriptions so not all are very strong. I'm guessing you must not wear glasses as otherwise you wouldn't make such an insensitive comment? Also I'm not quite sure why you had to make such an unrelated comment unless you get thrills from trying to upset people? Please be kind to others, not everyone can put up with nasty people like you.

What an amazing video. I have chronic back pain from a herniated disc, and I need the painkillers. I don’t know how she does it without them. Why didn’t they try something like OxyContin, that doesn’t make you feel so out of it? IR painkillers make you feel much more drugged up. Either way, her fighting spirit and gym regimen puts me to shame. Keep up the good work.

The problem with this disease is there truly are not enough studies and research because there’s no money in it. And that is truly tragic. I’ve spoken to a lot of doctors about this and some expert help where I can find it. There are more than 300,000 people affected per year, myself included, perhaps more because often people are misdiagnosed and actually have CRPS but it is ignored or misdiagnosed. You would think that’s enough to get science and medical community to pay attention but it isn’t. CRPS is considered a rare disease and therefore is not paid attention to and is not considered as severe a condition as cancer or something more common but it ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE! CRPS is an autoimmune inflammatory dysfunction of your central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems to trauma. It affects all walks of life from children to elderly. Medications aren’t the answer. We need to uncover treatments to treat autoimmune function and we could unlock all these other autoimmune diseases etc. If you added up all the autoimmune diseases together, including CRPS, we would have astounding numbers and maybe the scientific and medical community would pay attention. It’s not even among mandatory courses in medical school but again, it absolutely should be. It must be immediately diagnosed and then immediately treated. The worst thing you can do to CRPS is leave it untreated or refuse to treat it. Me and your sister are perfect examples of this. I’m so sorry your sister is going through this still Toby and all my fellow CRPS warriors are continuing to live in this pain daily for years. As a CRPS survivor myself, I can tell you the struggle is real. Stay strong-support and love goes a long way. Your video is pure love. I’m appalled at what some people say, things like what Sara has had to hear in her time. It’s important not to lose yourself and keep educating yourselves and others, so they stop making such offensive remarks, among other things. Create awareness. Yes like some have said Nov. 4 CRPS Day Wear Orange! Keep fighting. Don’t give up. Demand second and third and fourth opinions. It is the most pain a human being can experience, it should be far more discussed and researched than it is. For those who are looking for answers, I have not walked in over 3 years due to undue delay and refusal of treatment by workers comp. after I suffered a severe sprain from falling downstairs at work in May 2016, so it was too late for me and my condition worsened by the time I won the appeal and did start receiving the right treatment. I have had spinal lumbar corticosteroid injections, hydrotherapy, rigorous PT regimens and in May 2019 after 3.5 years with this disease I finally underwent Spinal Cord Stimulator implant surgery and while it is not a cure (There is no cure, like cancer once activated it can only be put into remission) it did help make life more tolerable but I am still struggling everyday and still not walking. I don’t sleep. My legs continue to turn purple in a downward position to this day and I have multiple violent spasms upwards of 30x daily. Still in pain. Still looking for answers. Early detection and immediate treatment is key. That’s the most important lesson we can take away. You can’t say that enough. Not one most efficient treatment has been discovered and not one treatment works for everyone. Everyone is different. But the most common treatments now seem to be SCS implant and injections, and hearing more about ketamine and mircocurrent treatments. Keep looking for solutions. Don’t give up. Get the word out to everyone you know. I’m continue to investigate my disease, as well. We can do this! Here are some links I found helpful, not paid or sponsored by these organizations: rsds.org kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ_Sk5-efr-CetE kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ_TlaeuocRljqc kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYbJi4iGjNFlbZY www.seeingyouwell.com www.medtronic.com/us-en/patients/treatments-therapies/spinal-cord-stimulation-chronic-pain/therapy-overview/how-it-works.html My device is Medtronic. It may be worth looking into for Sara if she is still struggling and for any of you struggling. It is scary of course to think of implanting something in your body, it took a while for me to consider it but it is far scarier to live like this without any form of relief. It has given me some hope, but unfortunately for me there is not just one fix all, but a combination of things to help put into remission. Those of you living with this disease for decades, you are an inspiration. My Mom, and her Mother being two of them. You are strength. Going on 4 years in May 2020 for me and it’s challenging to say the least. We gotta keep on going. Every day above ground is a good day with family and friends. Support is paramount!
