Living with CRPS: Isolation, Pain, and a Husband's Drug Problem

I haven’t been out of my house in 2 years or more, I lost count I have n friends or family just a husband that has a drug problem I just found out about. My CRPS makes it hard for me to go out because I have full body CRPS and I can’t wear stuff for long periods of time and get really bad flare ups. Although I am on strong pain medicine it won’t stop flare ups then when I get a flare up I have to take a lot of pain meds to get me back to a comfortable level of pain if there is one. So that’s a little of my story

I'm very sorry to hear that. I have CRPS and fibromyalgia so it's a double whammy! All I can say is I try to walk when I can. I just know that if I stop moving completely my pain is so much worse. I can't sit for long periods of time because I have ischial bursitis so standing, walking, or laying down are my options. I hope things get better!!
