Default If not CRPS then what?

Greetings,

A couple of you on this forums have been gracious enough to give suggestions, motivation and advice in the past so i'm hoping for more of the same.

I included a brief history of my symptoms and history in another post. Sense that time the only difference is that I have even less symptoms. I'll update my status in the last week and a half:

* redness maybe once in that last three days
* no tingling or throbbing
* only slight pain at night usually local to the hurt toe.

I have been exercising and walking regularly without pain. I have been doing therapy on the toes and have made progress towards better ROM.

The only bad news is that my sleep been slightly more fragmented, but i was ably to control this. Though, even after controlling it, i still feel more "groggy" then normal. Maybe anxiety, lidocane patches or Vitamin C, which are all new.

Additionally, I get tiny muscle twitches in the foot, but not near the previously broken toe. Their not painful, or prolonged. They feel like the ones you get in a muscle after exercising. Or like a light throb. I only get them while resting my feet. Maybe like 1 every minutes.

I also have been measuring the temperature in the two feet for the last week using a HDE temperature gun with infrared sensor. I have noticed the foot with suspected CRPS is usually 2 degrees warmer.

For instance my L foot is 23.4 and my right is 25.5 (possible CRPS) at the moment. But i have taken over 30 readings and it's usually warmer.

Several kind souls have suggested i might not have CRPS, i presume because my symptoms are so mild: no sensitivity ever, no burning (only warmth), osteoporosis, not full ROM plantar flexing in toes, sight muscle twitch, +2 degrees in injured foot, healing leading up to nerve block in foot, no inordinate pain.

My question is if anyone has any ideas on what my condition could be if not CRPS?

Thanks again for any advice or suggestions.
