Foot fracture: Open surgery to treat a foot fracture complicated by CRPS makes ongoing care necessary, it may be prudent to gain other opinions as to what's best to treat further. Many times need joint supervision by pain management specialist and foot specialist

Another opinion????: It's a whole lot easier and safer to make changes with the boot and existing treatment plan than to make surgical changes to yet another area of the foot. Getting a new set of eyes on the problem may also help.
