Thumbs down

As we all know, none of us react the same to therpies, treatments, or medicines....

Here is my story regarding use of STS:

I was sent to a physical therapist who had an STS machine and had been trained to use with Dr. Rhodes protocol.

I DID NOT have a good reaction to STS therapy.

In a matter of 45 minutes from the beginning of use my pain went from a 3-4 range to a 10+. I was crying and begging for someone to cut off my leg. This was the worst pain I had ever felt!!!

The pain had spread from my foot, up my leg, and into my torso. Temperature of my foot, leg, and torso turned extremely cold and turned a dark maroon purple color. Swelling was also severe...felt as though my skin was going to burst open.

My pain has never went down and only continued to spread after this happened.

I would hope everyone would research as much as they can on this before trying... Because of what happened to me, I would NEVER recommend this for anyone with RSD!!

Here is a link to Dr. Rhodes Clinic:

Wishing you all the best!!!
