I had tried all ,the mirror therapy is just a way to retreating your Brain to see an actual functioning limb again,I still do it ,even as therapy for self confidence ,and helps in some ways .
Retrained is here the key word, retraining our body to believe is ok ,nothing is wrong ,but most essential part is desensitization , make your limb or rsd area less sensible and your pt is the one who can help you with many ways and easy technique,does help ,I was able to regain Strength on my foot and ankle and combine with pt ,I was able to walk with shoes and able to walk after all the time I was depending of a ankle brace and surgical shoe,I'm still able to walk,I do still the therapy at home , I had several lumbar symphatetic blocks ,didn't work for me,but don't get disappointed we all react in different ways also tried TENTS units and worked as well that's why I ended with scs ,but all comes with a price and changes as well, maybe desensitization is the first then after you can try more pt and other options,some tried ketamine didn't but because my dr didn't offered ,who knows,might work ,scs is ok but was a huge ordeal and bad experience ,check on the recent post about scs and you will find my journey with it,is log story but sure was the purpose to teach others how it is for real.
Desensitization I'm sire will make a difference on you there after other treatment will be more easy to handle ,rsd is a conditions with so many stages as. Many we don't get it and never will but don't ever lose hope and faith,we are all here to help ,
Gentle loving soft hugs to all ,with love ,Jesika l
