Zinnia,

It is so good to hear that you are trying to move forward and start with PT. That feeling of hopelessness can be so discouraging at times. PT is one of the best tools to help us regain some of our function and eventually lessen some of the symptoms of CRPS. Just try to remember to pace yourself and not overdo things that may cause a bad flare. It may take some time, but I am sure that you will be back in the garden, among other enjoyable things, again soon enough. I know how much you enjoyed the gardening and just being out in what sounds like a beautiful yard.
