Help with pain for crps.

[mollyandmaisie]

Is there anyone else been diagnosed with crps after having knee replacements? If so I would love to know what I can get to help with the pain as what I take now doesn't touch it! I'm on gabapentin 300mgs three times a day. And co codemol at night as it's unbearable at night. Thank you for anyone that can help.

I know you did pete. And I appreciate it. I still don't know anyone who has had knee replacements and after being g told i have crps! I'm not yet convinced it isn't the allergy to nickel.

Thanks for the reply. I do really think you need a second expert opinion.

Best wishes, Peter
