Mom and I talked today and she said that we'll see if the new meds help before we start to get too worried. Again thanks soo much and I'll def be back here to learn as much as I can.

You do not need to have all of the symptoms for a proper diagnosis. It is a VERY unique condition. While there certainly are symptoms that are common, don't fall for conventional wisdom. There is not a lot "conventional" about CRPS.
What medication are you going to start?
I urge you to NOT be complacent. It is very easy to do. It took me 1 year to get a diagnosis and by then, the CRPS had been firmly set. In hindsight, I of course wish I would have been more aggressive in seeking second, third and fourth opinions. Which is what I eventually had to do to get a proper diagnosis. Time is certainly of the essence with any potential CRPS case.
Never be afraid of hurting a doctor's feelings by getting multiple opinions. A good doctor will have no problem with it and a great doctor will "encourage" it.
Good luck!
