Don't underestimate the physical, psychological and emotional trauma that comes with the initial CRPS diagnosis, coming to terms with all of the symptoms and so on. I wouldn't worry about it - just keep an eye on it and you'll probably find that it gradually stops as you gradually get to grips with everything. If not, then it is probably worth raising with your doctor.
