I have an appointment with my PCP next week to talk about some intense regional pain I have been experiencing for a long time, but it is now amping up drastically. I have done research on regional pain, and it seems like CRPS might fit my situation (or is at least worth talking to my providers about)- whether it is CRPS or something else, I am unsure of how to broach this topic with my pcp. I am chronically ill and have a bunch of intertwined co-morbidities, but I am really scared to talk about just how bad the pain actually is, and am scared to be labeled a "Drug-seeker" when really I am just wanting some relief.

Does anyone have advice for someone starting this journey? Thank you in advance!
