Hi leanneward4993

Thank You for posting this as Des Quinn mentioned I think it appears to be rare occurrence however I have heard members talking about having both conditions although mentioning certain type of CRPS

CRPS type 1 follows an injury such as a fracture or sprain but with no nerve damage – sometimes referred to as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) or Sudeck's syndrome

CRPS type 2 follows damage to a nerve in the limb – sometimes referred to as causalgia

Have you spoken to your Healthcare Professional about your concerns at all? Are you experiencing symptoms of CRPS? When were you diagnosed with Fibromyalgia?

I look forward to your reply

Hi again

Further to this, with permission this member ( cowsrock ) who has had Fibro for many years and had a diagnosis of RSD (a type of CRPS) is happy for me to tag them to talk with you about her experiences.

Hope this helps
