Yes birchlake,

9/3/2014 ~ second visit to Dr. M ~ he suggested it might be rsd/nerve damage/etc... he ordered a bone scan at ----- hospital.

9/13/2014 ~ dr. E at utmc diagnosed with CRPS and I have a nerve block done in right foot. I believe 3 shots of in the postival nerve of steroid kenalog - 10. hcl 1 percent. Before nerve block i feel only a level 1 pain, no pain from any part of the foot being touched. It should be noted that this was in the morning and the mornings are generally a little bit better then at night.

9/17/2014 ~ See dr. A at utmc. Dr.A is a CRPS specialist. Dr. A remarks that “you don’t have the symptoms of CRPS, but i'm not sure what else it could be". He suggests two weeks of a lidocaine 5 percent.patches to be worn for 12 hours to reduce pain. He also remarked that the right foot (trauma foot) was colder, which was interesting because it has always felt warmer to me. Though i didn’t test it at the same time. In retrospect the foot has felt less hot sense the nerve block.

9/18/2014 ~ Dr C diagnosed wtih CRPS type 1. Dr. C is a CRPS specialist Recommended Lumber nerve block and Gabapentin.

My understanding is that CRPS is hard to diagnosis, but that in many cases it's by ruling out other possibilities. That's why i'm trying to figure out what else it could be. For one, because i want it to be something else. Secondly because if it's not then i need to treat what ever that is.

I see dr. A on 10/1/2014 for a follow up. My expectation is that he too will diagnosis it as CRPS.
