Hi all. My first post here. I had nail surgery in both my big toes (removing both sides of both nails), got an infection in both, then once that all got sorted I found that both toes were flaring up hot, red swollen and painful after 15 mins of walking. I went to see an orthopeadic surgeon and he diagnosed CRPS type II in both toes. So I'm on 25mg Amitryptylene (anti-depressant nerve numbing drug) that has slighlty reduced the time it takes for CRPS to trigger and flare up. I'm seeing a pain specialist this week, but feel that I should be treating the cause, not the effect. Has anyone else looked at nerve removal surgery? 1 surgery already caused this CPRS, so I'm loathed to have another and make it worse.

Any thoughts/input much appreciated.
