It is definitely counter-productive thus far.
Perhaps viewed as an inability to accept my CRPS diagnosis but my knee pain is distinctly different from my leg/foot pain. It feels more orthopedic in nature (grinding, splitting, internal, aching, twisting, shattering, etc.) than does my lower leg/foot (freezing, burning, shredding, stinging, tingling, stabbing, etc). I have little to no meniscus left and a mild-mod osteoarthritis in that knee. In addition, the musculature/ligaments surrounding my knee are very week. I have a HUGE knot in the muscle right above my knee. My knee pain limits my mobility far more than does my lower leg/foot. But apparently all of the health care providers I have seen thus far group my knee with my leg/foot and refuse to treat the entire process with anything more than tricyclics and mind games.
Is it any wonder that I have had 3 failed attempts with physical therapy? Why does everyone insist on repeating the same failed ideas? Wasn't it Albert Einstein who said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results" ???
