Finding Hope for CRPS | Charles Mattocks & Chase Teagarden

[@thtribs]

Thank you, this was a great interview. Donna and I are hopeful that Trial by Fire 2 brings the national exposure and funding for research that CRPS deserves.

Thank you so much for shining the light on this terrible disease. I've suffered for over 14 years! I had some hope until 2016 since they cut all our treatments and meds. They call us drug addicts and made Dr to scared to give us pain meds. It's getting worse for us! We're dying out here fast either from self harm or Dr abuse. Thank you for evening thinking of us!

So I checked out your page and i watched the video about nerve stimulators, ketamine ect.. gabapentin is off the table I’m allergic, ketamine huge help but not covered by insurance, I want to have a professional explain my opinion with nerve stimulators is either valid or inaccurate. I’ve had almost 20 surgeries already and the idea of having a device surgically implanted which is a technological device, I feel technology not only is constantly changing and also has glitches. I feel the same way about my phone or software as I do a stimulator. I’d have implanted and then within a year or two it’s obsolete or needs upgrading. I also am not keen on anything involving my spine and I’ve had two spinal fusion’s through my throat. Distraction and focusing on others has been a huge help, music is my saving grace, and skating bc it’s like wheelchairs for my feet since my ankles are fused. So I have been as open minded as someone who has had to go through getting progressively worse and told it’s a functional disorder, ignoring my hands that didn’t open and my feet that were stuck completely at 90 degree angle and dragged on the ground. The Dr game is frustrating, u feel defeated and not taken seriously. For this reason I video recorded over 200 videos of my symptoms, photos, showed up any appointment with my entire medical history scan lab report, all my Apple Watch monitoring data bc eventually I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis cervical dystonia, herniated bulging discs multiple times, drop foot, ect.. years and money and irreversible damage done out of ignorance. And now that I’m all fused finding crps specialist is hard and most drs don’t take seriously. So I’m still recording every flare up bc if my feet are swollen 3 times there size and I can’t stand that’s not in my head

Hey Kerry! I am so sorry to hear all that you are going through. I am not entirely sure what you are asking in your comment. If there is anything I can help explain to you or help you with in general please let me know! I am so happy to see that you’ve found relief with music, skating and focusing on others. Those are a few of the things I advocate for patients to do! I am not sure if it was clear in my video, but I’m also not a fan of invasive procedures or most medications and you are right this condition is most definitely not in your head. I remember being told that myself while I was dealing with the horrible pain!
