When I first got this pre rx dx I was put in a an airboot for a few months and I had no break or sprain. When I got out of it I had no strength in my leg and it felt constantly broken. I do feel the airboot because it did keep it in a rigid position made my condition and pain much worse. I would encourage you to talk to your doctor about the bandage. The doctor who is rx this is it a pain doc? Have you seen one who deals with rsd? If I were you I would. Hang in there
