Default new here, new crps?

Feeling kinda silly posting a message but I so need to talk! Feeling as though I am losing my mind!

I will try to keep it short hopefully you will respond.

Had tarsal tunnel release end of Feb. 07. The next morning, extreme burning from foot to upper calf. Worse pain I have ever been in. Drs. order to keep splint and wrap on for 15 days. I had to remove at day 3, to painful. Noticed then the purple color. At 3 week, Dr. said had mild crps. I had never heard of it, and i am ashamed to say i am a nurse. Long story short, now 2 month later. Pain is better, the burner is on simmer. Ankle still swollen, ruddy in color when sitting or standing, normal color when walking. It feel like it is wet at times, but dry when I look. Extremely sensitive, i wear a sock and that helps. The reason i started surfing internet today is to find out if the reason i can not sleep is due to possible crps too? i guess if this is truly crps, it is...right? My case (if it is crps) is mild compared to other i have read about. i pray it stays that way. Any comments? Needing a friend who understands.
