Heather,

Cold foot! It seems I can never get it warm enough.

My primary affected area, the left-lower leg, gets swollen, purple and warm. It is even warm to the touch, very much like a fever or infection.

About three years ago, the right foot went just the opposite. Like Allen said, it is like an ice cube. I keep a heating pad under my desk at work and often need to have my shoe off and the foot wrapped in the heating pad turned to high.

I have been visiting my daughter in South Florida and will be in the 100-degree sun and the foot still will not feel comfortable.

I have had several blood circulation tests (another one scheduled for later this month) to make sure there is nothing else going on, but they always are inconclusive. It really is just the old CRPS/RSD acting up.

I don't have any suggestions, just sympathy. Just make sure that is you use a heading pad or something like that, you stay awake and aware. It could be real easy to burn yourself trying to get warm!

Take care.

Mike
