Hi and welcome!

Ah the foot CRPS, I've got that and it's a bag of fun I hope today is a good day and you are getting on well generally.

I would echo what's been said and apply it to ANY new treatment! There are some very good doctors, an awful lot of so-so doctors, and some very bad doctors. You can have a doc who is wonderfully supportive, but not that we'll informed about treatment, a brusque doc who makes you feel six inches tall but is damn hot on his CRPS research and knowledge, and any other variation. Few deserve complete blind faith.

Research any treatment you are recommended, and see what the general feeling is. You will come across extremes of view in both directions, but if you keep going and try to stick to well known sites you can generally build up a feeling about things. if you have concerns, ask questions of your doc until you are satisfied one way or another. Always check before a new treatment - CRPS is not something to take any chances with, and there are treatments than can make it worse....not something any of us want! I agree with the physio thing, it's definitely something that helps (as long as the physio has sense lol).

Good luck and I hope things work out for you.
