If your nerve was cut like you said then you have CRPS Type II. You only get this with cut nerves or by shot gun wounds, knife wounds, surgery gone bad and the Dr. cut a major nerve, ect. CRPS Type I is when someone spans their wrist, or can get it after many surgeries and so on.

CRPS Type I is more difficult to DX because of the unknown that can cause it then Type II is.
