Carrie Ann,

Symptoms from CRPS tend to stay in one area, usually the injury and below it. However, spread is certainly possible and when nerves are aggravated from other problems pain can spread too. The little guys are all about communication so nerve irritation can travel peripherally and centrally.

I'm glad you have the neuro appointment. They are the ones who initially diagnosed me and they can look at other possibilities for you as well. CRPS mimicks a lot of different things, ie: neuropathy, which is why rule out is so important. With the coldness on your hands and feet I would make sure they address any possible circulation issues.

Be sure to give the timeline of injury and symptom development and remember that not all your symptoms may be related since you have other things going on as well. You may have more than one animal there though it all sounds like something neuro could address. Hopefully your new PCP can help give you direction for any other care.

Good luck on your appointments!
