Hi Littlepaw,

I'm only 33, so the osteopenia shouldn't be age related.

I was in a boot for about 6 weeks and it wasn't getting any better. I think that's when they referred me to the ankle specialist. She poked and prodded and it wasn't only painful in the peroneal tendon, which is why I think they were diagnosing it as CRPS. Unfortunately, I do have a lot of the symptoms of CRPS, so I'm thinking the diagnosis is correct. It's nice to hear though that he doesn't think surgery is needed for my peroneals. Whew! I think recovery on those suckers is NOT fun.

I did have a cortisone shot after week 2, which did nothing for the pain. They have scheduled me for a ganglion shot on June 26th. Have you ever had one? Are they painful?

Thanks!
Jes
