You mentioned you posted before so I did a search and read your other posts here in the RSD forum. I saw that Littlepaw recommended back in March for you to look up the Budapest Criteria. If you did not do that then, please take a few minutes and watch this short video about it.

It should help your confusion about if you have CRPS or not.

The video is on the RSD Association's website and is from one of the doctors that was part of the international group that developed the current "Budapest Criteria" on diagnosing CRPS. Those doctors are a who's who in CRPS research.

I believe this is considered the current gold standard in diagnosing CRPS. The doctors involved in this determined a list of signs and symptoms that you must have to be diagnosed. You need multiple signs and symptoms from the list. If you only have one sign or one symptom - you would not be diagnosed with CRPS.

So much of the info on CRPS/RSD is in medical journals and papers and is hard for me to decipher and understand - but this doctor is good at making the information simple and clear. That was the point of the criteria - to make diagnosing CRPS easier for doctors so people with it would get correct diagnosis earlier so that they would get treatment earlier.
