I spent almost 4 years in Physical Therapy. First for my back, then my Thoracic Outlet and Fibro and then my RSD.

I think what is most important is how much the Physical Therapist know about RSD.

My first two Physical Therapist diagnosed my TOS after they got me walking again from my back, then they helped do as much as they could for the TOS but I later needed surgery. I then went back into PT for my RSD and Fibro. I found a husband and wife team that was the best. They didn't make me lift weights or do any kind of exercise. They did massages, heat therapy, and stretched my fingers and hands gently. I credit them for helping to save my life along with my PCP. They got me as far as they could.

Make sure it's not hard core PT. I finally got to where I could walk and do exercises myself. I now do the treadmill and other exercises. I also take walks.

It wasn't an overnight thing but it sure was worth the time it took to get me better.

Good luck with the PT.

I do want to say too that I consider myself in remission.
