PT for my son Matthew today didn't go so well. He's making very little progress. They want him to be able to do a little more each time he comes, but so far that hasn't happened. He's been in the gym for pt three times now (just graduated from aqua therapy).

The physical therapist suggested asking the pain management doctor if he would be a good candidate for cortisone shots, since he can't tolerate side effects of pain meds. Are cortisone shots for CRPS effective? Safe? Has anyone tried it with good results?
