Broken toe four months ago. Pain has and continues to feel local to my toe.

first month ~ pain about what i would expect. At worse it was like a 4 when I had to wear shoes.
second month ~ getting better
third month ~ getting better. At this point the pain was just tingling if elevated. Light throbbing if i walked on it.

4th month ~ Bone Scan didn't show signs of rsd. I have head this is ~ 50% likely with lower extremities for someone my age. Got referred to a better doctor. Better doctor looked at x-ray, said it was crps. I got a "nerve block" that hour. The injection was directly into the foot.

At this point i'm nervous and anxious as resources online seem to indicate anything from "it will spread and get worse" to "generally mild cases can be resolved if caught within 6 to 9 months. However, everything agrees that earlier is better. I'm about 110 days into this and i'm not sure i'm even early anymore.

I know at the moment my symptoms/pain are a 0.5 out of 10, which is nothing compared to how bad it can be.

I know a forum isn't a substitute for medical professionals, but i'm curious if anyone has any suggestions on what I should research next.
