So after 2 surgeries, and lots of pain, I a referral from my podiatrist got me to pain management doc. He says I have CRPS RSD or whatever it's called.

I understand from looking around it must be in early stages still, I don't have some of the more extreme swollen foot leg issues etc. But as the day goes by I have horrid pain swelling etc in my foot. Hard to take off shoes, socks, hurts to lay foot on bed certain ways, sheets blanket or dogs rub in it hurt.

He has scheduled me for a sympathetic lumbar nerve block to see if it helps, as I understand to see which type it is.

So any help with any information would be very helpful!

Also is it normal for it to not always hurt? Mine seems to be not as bad I'd I just don't walk... Lol yeah that's helpful for weight loss too!
