To be honest...it sounds like RSD to me. Mine started in my left ankle. Started as a sprain and the pain just kept getting worse and worse. I started out walking on it, then limping, then needed crutches, then a wheelchair. Immobilizing it is one of the worst things you can do and that's why it likely got so much worse after the boot (they put me in one of those for a while before RSD was diagnosed). The physical therapy is good...stop immobilizing the leg as much as possible. Don't use any ice.

You are still really early on in the process so treat this as aggressively as possible because catching it and treating it early is the best chance to have successful treatments and to go into remission.

I'm very sorry to hear what you are going through. Pain is a very subjective thing and I can tell you that early on the pain was not as severe as it was several months later. If the meds are helping at all...they could be masking the pain as was suggested above. They gave me vicodin in the beginning and it was totally useless for my pain...which was another indication that is was RSD.

I hope you get treatment and find relief ASAP.
