I saw the Podiatrist today and he doesn't want to cast because that's bad for the CRPS. So we stay with the splint so I can remove it and move my ankle around three times a day. And after I come back we may go to the boot (ugh, I just got OUT of the boot).
Breaking your foot when you already have CRPS is NOT recommended.

OMG. I hope the splint will be enough to get it to heal (because that is the most important thing here). Yes, your CRPS needs to be watched too, but in case of breaks, those take precedence. It needs to heal well, or your CRPS can possibly get aggravated. The splint or cast next to that is nothing, not in comparison to that outcome.
Wishing you lots of healing vibes!
