As -Spike- said, your PT shouldn't have any reason to be touching your foot. The only reason is if they are familiar with CRPS/RSD and are careful about doing gentle massage techniques, watching your response as they perform them so they know when and where they can not touch.

As for medication, I am taking the standard gabapentin that many of us take, 600 mg 3 times a day which is still a relatively low dose for us, 50 mg amitriptyline at night, which is similar to what Littlepaw is taking, and hydrocodone 10/325 as needed. The one that I think has done the most for me is the amitriptyline. I have heard many others talk about low dose neltrexone as well but I read somewhere that the system needs to be completely clear of narcotics which includes morphine and hydrocodone.

Since I am still fairly new at this, I am interested in what others have to say as well.
