I don't have a diagnosis of CRPS (TOS, DDD, c6 bulge, rib dysfunction, occipital neuralgia so far) but I've also never been evaluated for it. It sounds like something that happens with me when my symptoms get very severe. I'd like to catch it early if I have it. Did your doc diagnose you? Thanks!

I too have not been "officially" diagnosed as having CRPS...however both the surgeon who performed my last two foot surgeries and my pain doc think it a likely possibility. That said...my pain doc does treat a large number of patients with full-blown CRPS...and I would stiil highly recommend her as she has really helped me control the pain monster. So many paindocs nowadays only do injections - or - only do meds...not only does she do both, but she also does ancupuncture and massage (both in-office or as a prescription to see a therapist of your choice), listens to your concerns about what meds do or do not work, and implants scs units (for patients with CRPS in their feet, like me, she has developed a way to insert the leads in a retrograde fashion so as to only target the foot, and not the rest of the leg along with it).
All that said - I will post her name here (mods, if that is not allowed, feel free to edit, etc): Dr Rajni Jutla. Her Seattle clinic is called "Mind Your Body Clinic" and I believe the Portland clinic is called "Mind Your Body Institute" Assuming Oregon's rules and regulations are like Washington's...you will need a referral before she will see you.
