I have to keep remind myself I was non weighbearing for 8 weeks, which is a first for me in my life so that explains a lot of the symptoms. I have had 2 docs say to me I can't believe the surgeon told you RSD he never should have but of course he was trying to be careful since my symptoms nerve pain wasn't going away. But of course ever since it was mentioned I have lost sleep and worried more than I should.

GoBlue,

I understand worrying all too well. The CRPS monster can certainly take over ones thoughts.

8 weeks is a long time NWB. There is actually an article out there called something like "CRPS without Pain" which doesn't really sound like CRPS. It was about patients who had the color change but no pain and the syndrome resolved once they started bearing weight again. My ortho and nerve surgeon both say some people get a temporary autonomic dysfunction from NWB, this is not the same as CRPS. I have read articles too that point out studies done in which immobilized limbs exhibit CRPS like features but the patients don't develop CRPS. Cut yourself some slack. Your foot went through a lot.
