Noticed A Mild Genetic Peripheral Neuropathy In Feet And Hands

I have mild genetic peripheral neuropathy in my feet and hands. When I fractured my wrist 4 years ago I developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). 3 months of swimming and physical therapy resolved it. However, my recent toe fracture has also morphed into Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and I am having a lot more trouble. Even with PT & swimming my foot pain has started to move up into my ankle and leg and the daily swelling is not changing. I have a hemmoragic reaction to tylenol and ibuprofen and am generally very sensitive to all drugs. Any ideas for what I can do?

Hi , i am dr. Ramez mohammed,
Thanks for using health care website ,
I had gone through your question and understood your concerns..

Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to Pressure Palsy (HNPP) is a peripheral neuropathy, a disorder of the nerves. HNPP is a nerve disorder that affects the peripheral nerves, pressure on the nerves can cause tingling sensations, numbness, pain, weakness, muscle atrophy, and even paralyzation of affected area. In normal individuals these symptoms disappear quickly but in sufferers of HNPP even a short period of pressure can cause the symptoms to occur. Palsies can last from minutes, days to weeks, or even months.
so,
I guess that the fracture in the toe reason in this swelling located in the foot and leg initially you take an anti-swelling, inflammation and pain relief with the lifting of the leg 45 degrees and it will help you get rid of the swelling with the treatment (fixation) of the fracture after get an x-ray on foot
