Hi,

My CRPS has recently got a lot worse in my foot, and right on the end of my big toe, just under the end of the nail, I have a purple area of skin about 5mm round. When my foot is really cold it looks white, and when my foot is red and hot it looks a darker purple. It's really sensitive and causes me the worst of the pain at the moment because socks and shoes, and bed sheets etc all touch it. My physio doesn't think it's a big deal, but I'm worried it could turn in to a sore or something.

Am I worrying about nothing? Is it a 'normal' (ha) CRPS symptom on my skin? Is there anything I should or shouldn't do?!

Any thoughts gratefully received. Thanks!

Bram.
