Whiteaa,

I am attaching an article on spreading and CRPS that I found interesting. It has been about year since I read it but it had helpful information.

Spreading of complex regional pain syndrome: not a random process

I had mirror pain in my unaffected ankle but no upward spread originally. However as my pain decreased and I made progress that resolved entirely. We had at least one poster in the past mention HBOT, hyperbarics for helping reverse/reduce spread and I have seen research data correlating that.

Remember the key here is plasticity. Take good care of yourself, don't push your limits too hard and reduce pain contributors you can control. It is easy to overdo so I am wondering if your gymnastics routine (though exercise is great) needs to be re-evaluated as you are dealing with this. Also, be sure you are not minimizing any potential injuries or strains that could be contributing.

I hope you feel better soon,
