Default CRPS vs. Dysfunction?

So, It's been over a year now since my surgery & the beginning of
the CRPS/RSD. In the beginning my P.T. (she actually knows a little about RSD) pretty much told me that frequent visits were important because most progress would be in the first 3-6 months. That has pretty much proved true.
Anymore it's all I can do to just keep what little I have gained.

I'm still left with limited motion of my hand & wrist. I've been wondering if it could be a separate issue from the CRPS pain.
Very long story short......The Social Security Dr. I had to see said, "Oh, they really did a number on you Huh". He said he thought a new surgery would fix it,
and I now had only a "touch" of CRPS/RSD, because the swelling is down.

My original ortho. hand surgeon does not think so and will not touch it again. My P.M. does not think so, but leaves that to ortho. Dr.

I've tried to get 2nd opinion & have gotten referrals but can't get another
ortho. Dr. to see me when they find out I've already had surgery by another Dr. in the state of AZ.

I can feel the CRPS spreading to my foot now, but so far there is no dysfunction. I can still walk thru the pain, also very little swelling, just red & blotchy.

Any thoughts on this?
