Because I fell at work they MADE me use Workmans Compensation and I wasn't able to see a doctor until a month later. I have the horrible burning I mention, pin/ needles, I have surges of pain shooting from my foot up my leg, my foot at times seems frozen to the touch. My ankle will not move at all and I can't put any pressure on my foot. Now I developed something that looks like brown bruises going up my leg and it's painful. It feels like I always have something crawling on my foot/ankle,I have discoloration where my skin is red/green/bluish like color, it's constantly swollen and I can't bare to touch it.
Here's my problem when I saw the doctor initially he said it was CRPS and he set me up with Pain Management and Physical Therapy, I had two blocks and one blocked helped for a day it did not stop the burning at all. Workman's Compensation requested a Bone Density Test on me , I got the results back the next day that said based on the Bone Density Test Results that I did not have CRPS. Now the doctors are telling me nothing wrong with me, the Pain Management doctor refused to see me. My condition seems to be deteriorating day by day. My muscles in my left foot/leg are so tight until it's extremely painful on top of everything else.
Bone density is something that deteriorates in late stages (osteoporosis). And you were diagnosed with CRPS? Right?

Now they are saying it isn't that due to the BD test?

That's why they invented 2nd and even 3rd opinions. I'd go see a different doctor and let your GP manage your files, if s/he's not already doing that.

What does your GP say of all of this?
