The bone has healed; but the CRPS is worse; foot turns blue. Edema.

Was just wondering if anyone else has had a break...no pun intended.
Hi Enna,
How recent was the break? I have been told by Ortho that bones can take up to 18 months to fully do their thing after a break. And lot of remodeling occurs after it is "healed", during which time there can still be some swelling and discomfort. That's tough in a weight-bearing bone! Lower extremities are fussy even for people without CRPS. Elevation and very light compression if you can tolerate it might help. I know the blue foot well...

Hang in there, Littlepaw
