The pain is manageable with blocks but they've pretty much "called it" on any
further improvement on the contracture & movement of my hand.
It's also spreading to my left foot but I walk & "swim" & move it all I can.
On the emotional level I just put on the brave, happy face/voice when necessary & do all I can for family & friends, but I feel like I'm at a road
block & don't have words to describe it. Any thoughts?

Hi AZ-Di. I'm sorry you're in that crappy "stuck" place.
Biofeedback seems like it would be a positive step in the right direction.
My understanding is that biofeedback is used in order to help gain measures of control over certain biological functions like breathing, heartbeat, muscle movement, even brainwave patterns.
I've never used machines to monitor that type of thing, but have found great success in pain reduction by focusing my awareness on sympathetic, parasympathetic, and even enteric activities. It feels like I'm a 3rd party and I'm monitoring my physical body and movements from outside of myself.
