I am leaning towards RSD... also. RSD is a neuropathic condition too, but different from PN, in that it is a reaction of the sympathetic nervous system to trauma, a specific type of neuropathy.
Have you had any blood work to show infection (elevated white count?)
I would also get another opinion to make sure you don't have some infection or nerve entrapment. (who knows if this podiatrist did the right things, etc).
Early treatment for RSD may stop it...so getting the proper help soon is important. Please visit our RSD forum and discuss this with those there.

Sounds like a frightful thing...you are going thru.
