Has Anyone Been Diagnosed With Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?

I was diagnosed in 2019 with CRPS Type 1 (no nerve injury). This year that was changed to Type 2 (with nerve injury) after Physical Therapist and Pain Management Dr isolated an injured nerve.

There is no diagnostic test for CRPS, it's a diagnosis of exclusion.
It took my Orthopedic Surgeon 6mos to finally see the symptoms to diagnose me. He immediately had a specialist in to see me..within 30 min. , who was able to confirm diagnosis based on symptoms and history.

I have a Spinal Cord Stimulator implant, take Gabapentin and in Physical Therapy. My Pain Management Dr has done some nerve blocks and referred me to a surgeon for a Saphenous Neurectomy (had that done 8 mos ago). I utilize Graded Motor Imagery, Sensory Discrimination, Desensitization and Mirror Therapy.
