Hi swe3 - welcome to the group. Sorry CRPS has showed up in your world. As a parent of 3 children, that is even more challenging. There are a few basic things we all have learned here that you should know: 1, never never , never apply ice to the CRPS leg. 2. Warm soaks in an unperfumed epsom salt (magnesium) is helpful 3. Find a good physical therapist who will gently keel you mobile and teach you how to maintain range of motion in your foot and ankle 4. Find a good pain management doc to give you sufficient pain control. 5. Read as much as you can to get educated about CRPS6. Lots of friendly support is always available on this forum. Wishing you wellness - Lottie
