Thanks Neurochic,

I'm also hoping this turns out to be something else, I re-read my write up and wanted to clarify my symptoms.

The worst my pain got was around a 4/10, early on (1 month in), it was enough so i couldn't concentrate on my work and was a result of wearing shoes.
Other then that I experienced about a 2-3 if i walked on it for several blocks.

From what I can tell, the symptoms that match CRPS have been

* prolonged pain
* my toes being swollen
* osteoporosis in the toes
* my toes being uncomfortable hot.
* blenching (redness)
* loss of ROM in toes
* muscle weakness
* tingling in the toe

All of this was made worse by walking or standing and better by elevation.

my toes getting uncomfortable warm and redness ( I wont call it burning) seemed to come around the second for third month... but I can't recall for sure.

When i saw the orthopedic doctor the second time the x-ray showed by bone was healed but had osteoporosis. At that point I had all they symptoms above but they were still gradually improving day by day.

After the nerve block, i noticed my toes were very stiff and i was lacking ROM. I very well might have had this before but simply hadn't tried to move them.

As far as symptoms lacking

* my pain has been getting better
* sensitivity to touch.


I can't thank you enough for your interest, I know so many others have it much much worse. This this is a ****ing nightmare.
