A moon walk...: That sounds like a winner. It would be best to check with your doctor and get his opinion.

Comments: CPRS is associated with local allodynia, which can make any local contact excruciating. Your boot is a good idea, but some medications may help the symptoms, such as Lyrica, Cymbalta, Gralise, gabapentin, or Savella (milnacipran). Might try one or another if not yet done.
