March 2005 I fell at work causing a severe ankle sprain, along with crushing my foot. Sixteen months later I had neuroma surgery on my right foot. Then when I went to physical therapy where the therapist put a piece of ice on the bottom of my foot. I jerked my foot away, it felt like fire!! Since then 2 more surgeries, and a whole lot of pain that is unpredictable.
What I am experincing now is profuse sweating. I can be doing nothing, sitting in my chair and I feel like I just got out of the shower. Soaking wet, I lean forward in my chair or where ever I am. Pull my hair up, place my hands on top of my head and wait for it to stop. I've read about the thermal regulator being part of the autonomic nervous system that is getting incorrect information (dysfunctional). Does anyone else experience this as part of CRPS?
