Here's a bit of my story.

I had knee surgery in April for torn meniscus, then again in June because of pain that wouldn't go away. He removed plica, scar tissue and shaved down some bone spurs.
Pain would never go away....suffice it to say, I was diagnosed with CRPS in August 2012. Skin sensitive, pain in my knee, etc...I never really had the intense burning everyone talks about. Till now. On December 21, I had my 2nd femoral nerve block, took the cath out on Christmas Eve. Still numb leg, still on crutches, I fell in the middle of a pet store...flat on my face. Strained my sartorious muscle in my thigh and now I have numb/pain, tingling and burning. And just the last couple of days it's been really burning higher on my thigh and last night it started moving around to my butt cheeks.

Here's my question...is it normal progression of CRPS to have a patch of skin here and there burn for a few minutes and stop, then burn again and stop? It's kind of all over that its doing this. For instance, a spot on my stomach and back, then outer arms, chest, etc. I am worried that its spreading extremely fast!

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thank you so much and I will try to post an intro sometime soon.
