Hello,

I'm new to the forum so I would appreciate any response to assist me. I fell down some stairs at work and the first thing I felt was immediate horrible burning in my foot/ankle and it hasn't gotten any better it's actually moving up my lower leg. Because I fell at work they MADE me use Workmans Compensation and I wasn't able to see a doctor until a month later. I have the horrible burning I mention, pin/ needles, I have surges of pain shooting from my foot up my leg, my foot at times seems frozen to the touch. My ankle will not move at all and I can't put any pressure on my foot. Now I developed something that looks like brown bruises going up my leg and it's painful. It feels like I always have something crawling on my foot/ankle,I have discoloration where my skin is red/green/bluish like color, it's constantly swollen and I can't bare to touch it.
Here's my problem when I saw the doctor initially he said it was CRPS and he set me up with Pain Management and Physical Therapy, I had two blocks and one blocked helped for a day it did not stop the burning at all. Workman's Compensation requested a Bone Density Test on me , I got the results back the next day that said based on the Bone Density Test Results that I did not have CRPS. Now the doctors are telling me nothing wrong with me, the Pain Management doctor refused to see me. My condition seems to be deteriorating day by day. My muscles in my left foot/leg are so tight until it's extremely painful on top of everything else.

My question is The Bone Density Test is or isn't the only component in diagnosing CRPS. I will attach recent pictures to my text message.

Thank you,
