thanks for all your kind responses!. im still not convinced that i have crps - even the cold type doesnt really seem to fit with my symptoms (whilst i understand that not everyone has the same things going on).

I am waiting to for this dr to contact me so i can really ask him what symptoms of mine he feels are crps - i just feel like i fit more of a tos diagnosis but obviously the dr's dont really care much for my opinion!

i dont like the cold as it makes my symptoms worse or triggers them,(like most of you and almost every tos sufferer!). i have muscle wastage in hand and collarbone on the right (atrophy is symptom of both tos and crps!) i have changes in colour and temp (again a symptom of both!) posture is a big thing for me too and this doesnt seem to be so much of an issue with crps - but is a big factor in tos......

so im really at a loss - i lean towards tos more because i dont have any sensitivity to air/touch etc, and i cannot identify the hot burning or cold burning pain........thanks again for your response - i will keep uupdated with my tediously long journey!
