My PT used ice on my rsd wrist for 5 months of the 6 months I was there. I didn't know until the sixth month when I started having pain in my wrist when she put the ice on that it was bad for rsd patients. I told her it hurt and she stopped doing it for the last month I was there. She said that happens with rsd patients sometimes. Well then why did she keep doing it? I wanted to ask her but she was one of those people who thought they knew everything and didn't listen to their patients so I didn't bother. After that happened I looked on rsd hope and found out how bad ice was. There are other rsd websites that also state that ice is bad for rsd. If I were you I would make sure you don't let anyone put ice on your rsd site. It can cause further damage to your nerves. I hope things work out for you and that you feel better soon. Take care my friend. Sincerely, Renee.
