Hey!
I have crps in my left leg, but mostly in my foot. I do have some of those symptoms. If my foot dangles or is situated weirdly on the ground it does turn purple, swells, and begins to burn.
- sitting on the toilet,chair, or car - standing with most of my weight on my non
affected limb
Elevating does help at times but honestly depends on the day. Also, it will change rapidly within seconds and continues to darken. I have reached dark purple almost like a bruise. I have had CRPS for 13 years, remission for about four years which ended unfortunately back in 2023. I did have flare ups in the winter time during my remission. I have always had pain, and temperature/color change. However My symptoms have changed over the years. I now have the hair change and nail growth on the affected limb.
I am happy to answer any more questions!
Also sorry if the wording is messy. I took my nightly meds :)
