Hi Aascvt,

I too ride! Although that's my daughter in the profile pic on one of our track horses. I developed crps in my ankle from surgery this past march. It has been getting better slowly and the only thing that helps keeping my flexibility is riding. I went today for a nerve block but they could not do it because I took fish oil this week (bad instructions from Kaiser permanente). One thing I brought up to the Dr. today was how can I tell how much of the pain/swelling etc. was caused from crps and not surgery and the neuropathy I already had?? Did not get much of an answer...except that the nerve block would NOT help the other neuropathy, which I thought was strange (maybe Mrs D could chime in on that one!). From the description of your pain, it sounds like it could also be a more acute injury to your heel. The pain I had from a heel spur was horrible! It was a bad burning/stabbing/searing pain-lucky it went away but took probably 6 months and not doing my routine 5 mile walks-

Sorry to hear that everything is flaring up. Wish I could offer better advice but at least I am here for support!

Judie
