Hi Tara and welcome. I have a very similar story to yours. My injury was in April/May of last year. Husband in a very stressful situation which resulted in me worrying about his health. I hurt my foot and was in a boot for 3 month. My orthopedic surgeon diagnosed my crps and sent me to a pain anesthesiologist. I had 2 sympathetic nerve blocks that were minimally if at all successful.

What has helped is my medications, getting enough rest- which lately has been difficult- aquatherapy, seeing the appropriate doctors (some were bad, some were good). Have the right doctors is SO important. I travel 2-1/2 hrs. to see a doctor who specializes in crps. His office sees 4-5 crps patients a day and they come from all over the country.

It sounds like you're at the beginning of this journey. You've been diagnosed rather quickly which helps your odds of remission. There is a lot of information here. I have tried to read it all and pick out what could possibly help me. Read as much as you can about this disease. It will help you.

Again, welcome.
