I found out I had CRPS in October of 2009. My pain is in my left wrist all the way up to my left elbow. At first they thought I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. They sent me to a hand specialist and he examined me. He did an X-Ray and a MRI, but they all came out negative. So he sent me to a pain specialist/antestioligist. He exmained me and discovered I had CRPS. He tried a couple of nerve blocks that gave me hardly no relief at all. So he put a nerve stimulator in to control the CRPS pain. It controls the pain most of the time, but with CRPS there are ups and downs with the pain. They have had to make several adjustments to the stimulator, but that's normal, but I would recommend getting a nerve stimulator.
