Great set of links. I'm particularly interested in the vitamin c for prevention. Professor Paul Zollinger first did a study on this in 2000. The possibilty of preventing CRPS isn't widly known although many orthopedic surgeons now recommend it. I had a wrist fracture in 1998. I wish I'd known. I'll put a link to this page and post on my blog.

Thanks for dropping by The Manor, Jeisea. I think that one day soon, orthopedic surgeons will be able to advise a fairly simple "Pre-op CRPS" protocol that will include cost-effective prevention like Vitamin C.
ReplyDeleteAwareness about Vitamin C is on the rise. Zollinger advises, I think, 500 mg over at least 50 days... A small thing to do that might have big rewards.
