Hard to do if you are writing about your pain all day. I am with you on not keeping a pain diary. Maybe log something on a calendar if you had a sentinel event but other than that...microfocusing on it makes it bigger.

On having CRPS or not...I heard the shoe comment too then saw another PM who said "you have CRPS'. I wouldn't worry too much about it. You know for sure you have a nerve injury. Can you have temp and color difference and intractable pain without CRPS just from that? Absolutely! Can you have CRPS somewhere on the spectrum just from that? Absolutely! Only God knows for sure what's going on in there...
