Thanks Kevscar, i'm familure with the Budapest Criteria. When I examined myself (check my post history if you care to know more) against the criteria I found that it was plausable that I met 2 or 3 out of 4 of the signs (same as symptoms). The two symptoms that (to me) seem to point to CRPS are redness and aching that pursists long after the injury. However, as you point out, the pain has never been extreme (above 6). At this point, I get by telling myself that "i have some kind of neuralgia, but it's not going to get worse or spread". It would be nice to know if that were true or if i'm fooling myself.
