Well, I have joined the ranks. Saw neuro today and he has no doubt that I have CRPS. Came right out without my even asking. I believe he's accurate. I think I have been in hopeful denial but I guess once you add painful burning stings + color and temperature change over months and months post-op what's that spell? He reiterated that this is a spectrum and that a lot of people get better with time. Was against any remotely invasive/aggressive treatment, says often people do that and they get worse. I think for me not getting a lumbar block was possibly best since I have had a degree of improvement from the beginning. I have probably read too many people write that they had spread afterwards. I might consider an oral sympathetic blocker like Phenoxybenzamine. For the time being I am told I am doing all the right things, exercising and increasing activity as able. Now if I could just keep my foot down...

Poop, at least I'm among family..
