Hi Robin  Welcome! Your intro question... crps or not? is, of course, something I can't answer, I am not a physician. But as a rsd/crps patient for 14 years now, I have a bit of experience with it, you might say. I have never met a patient who had as little pain as you seem to have. One 400 mg ibuprophen each evening?? Pain is the #1 symptom of rsd/crps, pain beyond what you should have for your injury... to the point some Dr.s think you are a hypochondriac. It overtakes your life, sometimes making you afraid to even move once you find a comfortable position. I remember my first therapy appt after surgery... the PT was rubbing a cotton ball across my foot for desensitizing reasons, and I was hiding my face in my hands, feeling the fool for crying like a baby. I had gone through childbirth with nary a drop of pain meds, yet here I was crying over being touched with a cottonball!
No, I can't say for sure whether or not you have rsd... but I hope and pray for you that the answer ends up being a resounding "NO"!
