Actually is was the Physical Therapist 4 years ago who first suggested I had RSD so they were more educated on the condition than the orthopedics I consulted with. Had eval Monday and it was quite thorough; today was first session. Both knee and RSD have increase in pain, but my mobility was declining so maybe this will help get me back. I'm trying to get aqua therapy approved as recommended because it would take pressure off the knee. We'll see. If not my pool is open for the summer if the weather would just cooperate and stay warm to heat up the water. I'll just take an extra pain pill tonight to sleep through the night hopefully. I can tell it's going to be a big challenge. What do they say...no pain, no gain. I'm just tired physically and tired of pain. So thanks for responding, it helps to not feel so isolated.
