Thank you all for the warm welcome and information. I am currently still in the hospital my surgon doesn't want to discharge me until we know what is going on. In his words, which I totally agree with this has gone on long enough. I am 8 months post op from the first surgery and six weeks from the one to remove the tightwire. I will ask my doctor today about getting a neurologist to consult. He said that the bone scan on Tuesday will rule out the last of the non nerve diagnosis and may point more to CRPS. IM GREATFUL I have a surgeon who is being very proactive with this and I know the hospital I'm in has a pool and the hydrotherapy was my favorite part of physio....it is good to feel more normal and taking a few steps without pain in the deep end was always a huge blessing! Thank you all for the information and suggestions it makes me feel better just having a bit of knowledge and a safe place to ask questions! I have spent time reading old posts and can see that this a safe helpful healing place!

I have another question that im sure is going to sound silly but hey I'd rather ask and know the answer than assume. What is the difference between CRPS and RSD?

Thanks again for the help and welcome
