Yes the emotions thing is such a big part of CRPS, as a few of you have said. It's actually going ok so far this evening (hope I haven't spoken too soon!). I've been concentrating on breathing deeply and relaxing my body properly - makes you realise how tensely you are holding everything together... It's not foolproof, but does help you feel less panicky.

I've also been doing some desensitization with a powder brush on both feet. I've realised that it does help in its own way, and it's something that I've not been doing often enough, so I've made a little pledge to my feet that I'm not going to neglect them or give up on them.

They still damn hurt, but I'm doing ok. And you've all helped today, thank you!

Bram.
