I agree with what the others said. There are criteria for diagnosis , and someone more well versed than I will chime in and explain it. But, a small amount of swelling is not " a touch of CRPS. " What a ridiculous thing to say. My surgeon had the gall to tell me "you really are not that bad. I've seen worse". OH and that's helpful,,,,,,, not. Its frightening how people try to cover up their ignorance by diminishing the patient.
