That is good news!

I had 8 months of worthless PT during which my upper legs went thinner than my calves (and they are thin). I had no treatment for my CRPS at the time, so that might have contributed to it. It's important to both treat CRPS medically *and* do PT. Not just one or the other.

Good luck to you!
