Re: [AlternativeAnswers] Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome

 

You might try acupuncture. Find someone who does herbs. There is a
Chinese herb called Yan Hu Suo that has 48% of the pain killing effect
of morphine, without the addictive property. That's in addition to the
effects of acupuncture itself. The practitioner should be able to
modify a traditional herbal formula specifically for your pattern
diagnosis.
You might also try DMSO as an anti-inflammatory. It tends to be very
drying and may itch the next day, so get the type mixed with aloe.
You should also try a scenar.
You do any type of qigong?

Since then I have seen 8 separate MD's and specialists, done multiple types of therapy including Desensitization. even on good days it is difficult for me to where clothes because I feel like I have sunburn all the time, on bad days clothes feel like barbed wire wrapped around me. I have constant searing pain in my joints, stiffness, pain and cramping in my fingers. I also get shooting pains through my joints like someone stuck a hot knife through them during activity and rest.
