Does anyone suffer with crps    I would be so grateful for a reply as my symptoms are so dreadfully painful.and No one to talk to regarding symptoms makes the situation worse   m 69 female, led  a very active life, was happy little soul but no longer the case, due to nerve and muscle  pains throught my body including private parts , constantly.  
Started with mild symptoms 3 yrs ago  unfortunatly i was not listened to so i  am now having cope with constant chronic pains,  I live on my own, no children. housebound.   I try to be possitive but its very difficult.  Sorry for jumbled info.  xx

Hello and welcome to scope @poppets3 the only suggestion I have would be to ask your GP to refer you to the local pain clinic (usually at the local hospital).

Sorry you are in so such pain and kn your own   

Do you get any support or care if not then you can refer for a care needs assessment and maybe get some help

I'm sorry to hear that you're in so much pain @poppets3, but I'm glad to hear that you'll be getting a call from a doctor tomorrow. 

Here's a link to the social care self-referral, if you choose to do that. 

Just so you know, I've moved your post into our category for discussions relating to dealing with chronic pain.
