Two big things I would advise you...avoid ice and do NOT immobilize the foot (rest is fine but you want to keep trying to move it regularly through stretching and as much weight bearing as you can manage without overdoing it).
Best of luck to you and keep us posted!

Thank you for your insight. It's funny you mention research; that's all I've been doing! And to me it really sounds like CRPS. I am avoiding the ice and the immobilization (unfortunately I was non weight bearing for 8 weeks in a cast from 7/22 to 9/22). That probably didn't help and might have caused it. My PT says to keep it moving and I'm trying but the pain/swelling/sensitivity is making it tough! I'll let you know what the doctor says.
Thanks again!
