Need advice for CRPS pain relief in my face

My crps has traveled into my face . Any advice on how I can get some relief . I have a stimulater but unfortunately it only reaches my right side of my face (which I’m greatfull for ) but I also need relief on my left . Dr has me on Topiramate 50 mg twice a day I imagine that will be upped again my next appointment . This is the first this in the 20 years that I have had crps that I have been on a long term medication. I am allergic to all most all pain meds and have very bad reactions to all of the other meds they have tried. Only 1 of my drs offered ketamine and she no longer practices in my state . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried frequency specific microcurrent therapy? I have neurological symptoms that accompany my RSD and affect my face. The microcurrent treatment has been the only treatment in 20 years that helped me!

My first pain MED was TYLOX. I was on that for nearly 10 years. Since then I've been on Oxycodone, Oxycontin and Morphine. Now I'm back to Oxycodone. Which pain meds have you tried?
