I don’t think doctor understood, or comprehended, the level of my pain and how it has robbed me of daily life, others take for granted. No one wants to live with severe pain. I have tried more cures than 95% of other patients. The drug he prescribed does nothing for me as it explicitly says does not work for spinal nerves. I can attest to this fact. I will take it for 15 days and report back and give feedback to drug company also.
From their website: It affects only the nerves at the periphery (outside of the brain and spinal cord) like your arms, legs, etc. It does not cause addiction.
Unfortunately, Journavx is weaker than Vicodin in terms of controlling pain. It is more useful in acute post-operative pain and not in chronic pain. It failed treatment of low back pain.
Given its weak nature, it is unlikely to help CRPS.
CRPS is caused by central sensitization (aka pain triggered in the brain and spinal cord). Journavx does not act there.

I have been with Dr Rupert since 2019. Before him I was using a walker and a wheelchair to get around and today I am hiking up mountains. He has always been professional and detailed along with compassionate ears.
