I screamed all of the way home, while riding in the SUV. The greatest pain was in my CRPS affected foot. I'm wore out and need to bring this horrific pain down to baseline.

I know your baseline isn't that much below a 10, I am so sorry this procedure took you so far above.
I can only agree with the aforementioned suggestions. If I remember right, you have more 'hot' CRPS?? If my memory serves, I would go with a lukewarm epsom salt soak. Yes Vit C. Yes any (and every) topical you have available to you. Also couldn't hurt to add a bit of Vit D3/. I would seriously consider calling the provider who did your procedure as well as your pain management doc...perhaps they can do a bit more on a temporary basis. Stay very on top of medications...I would only fluctuate no more than 5 minutes and that would probably be on the top side.
Celery and peanut butter...broccoli and hummus...whichever you prefer 
In your minds eye, touch the tail of the cloak...
