Therefore our experiences can give a random cross-section of the wider CRPS community. No one is claiming this is a new breakthrough (yet!), just that it is interesting....

Personally I do think any result here IS skewed by the title of the thread (to those who have it in their feet - I think originally it also said left foot) - but that the left foot is coming through as SO much more common is a surprise.

And as someone once said, 'from little acorns grow mighty oaks'
