ABSTRACT
This case illustrates a distinct presentation of coexistent medial plantar and sural neuropathy leading to the development of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in a 49-year-old male patient. CRPS is a broad medical diagnosis describing prolonged and excessive pain that is out of proportion to exam and has historically been diagnosed according to the Budapest criteria. To our knowledge, this is a rare report of a case of medial plantar and sural neuropathy further complicated with CRPS, status-post calcaneal fracture, surgery, and post-surgical boot placement. The case highlights the complexity of diagnosing and managing multiple concurrent neuropathies and underscores the need for interdisciplinary approaches in treating CRPS to improve patient outcomes.
