Default Crps and severe muscle stiffness w/ pain

I thought I would give you all an update since you all showed such an outpouring of support, before I ask my question

You all know I had that awful flare this weekend. My legs and feet swelled up again and caused a lot of pain. This morning I woke up with severe pain (normal)& horrible stiffness(new).
I could barely move my legs at all. I tried moving/stretching them out and I literally had to yell through the pain it caused, just to almost straighten them out.
At the appointment, the podiatrist looked at my legs, but thankfully didn't manipulate them, due to the pain/swelling/discolorations. I told him about the flare and all symptoms since & new severe stiffness. He was sure that my Crps has spread to my legs & didn't really do anything else treatment wise since I already have an appointment with a new, can you believe it? ,Crps specialist in my area. Finally some luck!

My question, since I can't find much information on it myself is...

Have any of you had severe muscle stiffness in your Crps affected leg(s)? If so how do you help combat it without medications. I'm trying to find a little relief before my appointment
