Hi irpg,

Sorry that you've been bitten by the RSD monster, but it is great that you were diagnosed so early in this process. Too many docs dismiss our complaints of severe burning pain out of proportion to the original injury.

An appropriate intervention at this stage is your best shot at remission. I wish you the best of luck finding that APPROPRIATE intervention, but I hope that you listen to Bram and others here about the damage that contrast baths can cause for folks with RSD. I agree with others that that doc/PT recommendation would make me question how current their knowledge is about treatment for RSD/CRPS
