I have had ongoing pain since I broke my leg back in 2020 and had hardware surgery, my pain got so bad I couldn’t have a job so I had the hardware removed in 2022 and that helped for awhile but the pain eventually came back, at first I would get a few weeks of mild pain then week(s) of severe pain, but in Dec 2025 my pain got worse.I haven’t gotten one day without pain and the pain has gotten so so much worse. My doctor ordered a bone scan and it came back saying there’s abnormal blood flow/activity in my lower leg/foot and that it’s “compatible with CRPS.” But I don’t have much skin discolouration, sometimes some very light red/purple spots but nothing like the photos I’ve seen of CRPS, and not much swelling either, the pain lines up with what people describe, but I don’t really have a lot of the physical symptoms. Did anyone else have similar symptoms at the start? And how did you get any relief from the pain?
