welcome stressedout i have found this forum a wonderful place for support and advice, i was dx like you early but the one thing they didnt do for me is put me in pt soon enough they waited three months i have rsd in my foot and leg so as a result of not useing it my toes and ankle are frozen they wont bend move nothing. go to ot as much as you can stand and use it, like the saying use it or lose it. the nerve blocks will help with pain and hopefully put you in remission like others have said be aggressive with your therapy. prayers are with you, michelle
