For some reason, my arm/hand get more discolored as the day wears on. The later the day, the more discoloration. The cooler the weather, the more discoloration. The more discolored it gets, the colder my arm feels.
Does that happen with you too?

OMG! The new PM I saw last week said I didn't have CRPS because I could wear a sock and shoe. Seriously? My friggin leg swells for no reason (to the point of 3-4+ pitting), mottles and is 1-5 degrees colder than my other foot/leg, but because I can wear a sock I don't have it???
Yes, as the day goes on, no matter what activity I am doing (or not doing) my leg/foot swells. Sometimes it's as simple as a deeper imprint of my shoe, but it's there.
Thanks everyone for the pic suggestions. I took pictures of my knee all the time after the fracture because it never looked 'right' to me. I have only taken a few pics of my leg/foot because the pictures have never done justice to the real thing.
