It's all so overwhelming - I'm sure I'll have questions as I go through this journey with you all. Thanks for all the replies and well wishes; it means alot and I wish you all a painless (at least a less painful) holiday season.
Bless your heart!! I am glad that they have it diagnosed though. The earlier the treatment begins, the better the results. Prayers going up for you!

My foot doctor was the one who originally said she thought it was the start of CRPS. She told me is was rare and how we needed to nip it in the bud before it got out of hand. She prescribed the Lyrica. My PM doctor says the Lyrica was a conservative start but it wouldn't fix the problem.

Thank you so much! I have already had one nerve block and I can honestly say I have seen improvement. I imagine it'll take awhile to drive it completely into remission but I think I'm off to a good start.

Prayers to you as well!
