I wonder if the following is a typical symptom of CRPS.
My leg feels normal when stationary.
But if I flex my ankle or knee, there is an odd pressure like feeling.
It feels as though my entire leg is tightly wrapped in cellophane or maybe
a scuba wet suit. And whenever I move, it pushes back.
Same feeling when moving my toes.
Has anyone else noticed this feeling?

Wow Gordon that's a tough one.
My RSD/CRPS started in my arm & hand & is managed with nerve blocks & meds.
My P.M. suspects itmay be spreading also to foot on same side due to symptoms simjilar to yours.
The weird thing is when RSD/CRPS was firsr dx'd in my arm & hand it was EXCRUCIATING & very, very obvious with all the the symptoms!!
The suspected spread to foot on same side is different. My left ankle area is only redish and mottled, I can still walk on it as it is mildly crampy, with transient sharp pains. It feels like someone is standing on my foot as I walk but I still can do it & I know I MUST keep it moving!!
But I wonder like you because my symptoms in my foot are more threatening than blatently obvious like my hand.

It may feel normal but does it look swollen at all, if so that is the reason,

CRPS affects my ankles too! The wet suite example is a good way to describe it. The pain is at its' worse when I stand or try to walk...

Good description Gordon, I get the tight wet-suit feeling on my knee, it's worse when there's swelling, but I still get it when the swelling is minimal. I've also had it across my foot where I have no swelling.
