Default Foot doctor thinks it's CRPS

Good morning,

I'm new to this board and was hoping for some insight. I have attached a photo too; please let me know what you think:

I had left foot reconstruction surgery in July and August. About 3 weeks ago I started with the stabbing, burning pain, spasms, hypersensitivity (water in shower can't directly hit the foot), off and on sweating, blotchy coloring on foot (red/purple), swelling & I am still numb from about mid foot to toes (bottom only). The foot doctor put me on Lyrica which I've been taking for about a week and haven't noticed much of a difference. I'm going to a pain management doctor tomorrow and hopefully he can confirm whether or not this is CRPS and start treating it.

So what do you think? Does it sound like it could be CRPS? I know no one can diagnose it over the internet but just based on some of your past experiences could it be? My PT seems to think it may be as well.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

TIA!
