Hi @Jancan61, welcome to the community and thank you very much for sharing this with us. I am sorry to hear about the amount of pain that you are in. I hope someone in the community is able to advise on this.
I have found the symptoms for CRPS but you may find it useful to find people on here who have experience. We are not medical professionals but can definitely offer moral support!
Hope you have a lovely day

Welcome to the community, @Jancan61!
I know from others that CRPS is a really debilitating condition and that early intervention can make such a difference, so I'd definitely recommend speaking to a GP about your concerns. Please do keep us updated and let us know how you get on! -
Thank you so much and I sure will keep you informed ty
