I too have ballance problems.. and when I was in the pain clinic here in Canada they tested the muscle tension (computer bio feedback) on a muscle just below my knee and it measured 20. I was told that normal was 4-5, chronic pain patients usualy 7-9 and 12 was the highest they had seen prior to me. I guess they had never tested locked RSD muscles aparently.

I hope things turn around real for Ali soon

hugz mum.
