Hello Brandon,

Sorry for what you are going through. It is no fun needing to be here but welcome nonetheless. I too am a CRPS after foot/ankle surgeries kinda gal. I would very much like to give you a properly welcoming post with my usual tips on where to go for info and my schpiel about making sure it's not nerve entrapment. That said it is late and I am a tired pup so I am going post the link to my favorite info video tomorrow.

For the meantime, know that 80% of people get better over time. Not everyone has all the symptoms and symptoms change. Take at look at the Budapest criteria for CRPS if you question your diagnosis. I never had crazy swelling myself. It IS normal to have swelling after foot surgeries, sometimes for months and that is uncomfortable for anyone CRPS or not. Epsom salt soaks are good for feet and light compression can help after foot surgery if you can tolerate it.

Know that you are not alone in this, there is good support here. Can you give a little more info on your procedures? when, what , hardware, etc?

Hang in there. Things DO get better.
Sending Healing Love,
Littlepaw
