Greetings,

I wanted to ask the community if they had any new advice, based on my symptoms at this point in time (8 months after injury) my symptoms (which can be found in full in other threads or my extended bio) haven't changed much sense my last post but i'll briefly summarize here:

I dropped a weight on my foot on 5/5/2014, pain was as expected. Around 4 months on I still had discomfort walking and wearing shoes (I wore sandles). Bone Scan showed evidence of CRPS. An ortho diagnosed me with CRPS and did a nerve block (steroid kenalog -10 hcl percent), which allowed me to walk without (as much/nearly any) discomfort.

An anaesthesiologist and crps specialists did another superficial personal nerve block on 10/6/2014, which effects aren't significant.

Recently the same anaesthesiologist informed me to contact him if things but worse but otherwise wasn't going to do anything else unless things changed.

The worse my pain ever was a 5/10 while wearing shoes in the first month, not really a burning more of a throbbing. The worse it gets now is also when i'm wearing shoes and walking but is about a 1.5/10 as an aching. Most of the day i'm pain free, though my Right foot usually feels 'odd', but i can ignore it by soaking it in warm water, other then that i get an aching which seems to be in the outer arch of my foot . The redness comes from exercising the foot, eating food and in the just randomly in the evening. Stress and Spicy food seems to aggravate my foot but not drastically increase the pain. No sensitivity to touch, heat, cold, no drastic change in symptoms as winter came (barometer switches).

I have tried to ignore it and move forward with my life but feel that it's occasional a good idea to consolidate my thought, history, symptoms, etc... and see if there is anything more I should do.

I'm open to suggesting, comments, etc. I'm always hoping someone will argue me out of the crps diagnosis by offering some other explanation or suggest a treatment. However, I would equally welcome someone explaining how my condition can be CRPS despite my lack of pain and sensitivity, though i suppose i do have some discomfort walking.

Thanks to everyone here who takes the time to read this. I hope from the bottom of my heart that anyone in pain finds some sort of resolution soon.
